Oblivion

We were fed, and fattened
 By the millet strewn tales;
 Which swayed like barley in our minds.
 Those wooded bowls of grain
 That spoonfed our souls
 Warmed and filled us
 Until we grew whole.
 But they had foretold;
 The Patriarchs,
 That we’d grow old
 And as we did, we’d forget
 That once we’d eaten, like they had
 And that once, we’d too, tasted oblivion

Perishing

Phosphorescent planetary
paths petrify prematurely,
Profoundly powerful 
photospheres perish
pathetically,
Prominences polarize,
Propagating parabolic
phantom - shadows,
Preterite plasma - bursts
petrify periodically,
Precipitating permanent,
pitch - black primordial -
gloom,
Prototypical pulsars
paradoxically portend post-
stellar doom,
Profound planetary
patriarchs perish perpetually.

Doomed Girls-Questionku Two

Womb with girls
Is looked down upon
Why slaughter her in bed?

Fresh blooms nipped
Raped and molested
Have they committed crimes?

Education
Is the right of boys
Isn't it her right, too?

Patriarchs plan
Girls are wedded off
Can't girls take decisions?

From birth to death
Girls at men's mercy
Are they forever doomed?

Land Of Canaan

(And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.) Genesis 33: 18.
Who is Jacob?
Jacob is son of Isaac; brother of Esau; father of the twelve patriarchs of Israel. 
Land of Canaan means Palestine which belongs to Canaanites not Israelites. So clear in Torah. 
 
Palestinians  
Real owner of that land
Jacob came to them.
