Palestine

by FireFly - Libra

Running thru the fire-
The stench in nostrils-
Body’s crisp, hands still in a fist-
From the wars consumption-

The 1000’s year war-
Taxing each generation-
Ripping families apart-

They throw the rocks-
And the steel bullets hit-
The 2nd war, the jews one of the biggest causalities-
Though I don’t see a human face-
A result of it-

Peace Words they lead a path-
Blood, maligned bodies in histories-
Complaints, and the future-
Splatters unnerving pictures-
To the peace words that still-
Can’t live in the ruins-
Of hatred’s wrath-

No time to breath-
No time to believe-
What the other side says-
Suspend peace words in-
The vacuum of space-

God in heaven-
Are you ready for a cease fire-
Both books speak of peace-
Spirits wrestles, so close to evil-
God in heaven-
Your words misconstrued?-
Or was this heaven and hell-
The world will never be relieved from?-

I don’t know, humanity is ripping-
Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha, Hathaway-
Peace words in the marrow-
But the poison in the blood stream-
Kills perspective and love is shallow-

Be safe, love is on the run-
Be strong, love will only cover-
The length of your arms-
But it will be discovered-
If you just believe-

I know its hard-
But if you don't-
I know its easier said then done-
But if you won't-
A warm day, and beautiful night-
Will be filled with punctured hearts-
Unresolved for another young life-
Buried in flames, buried in dirt-
the future will be filled with monsters-
and one he will become-

Jewish or Arab-
