RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: ISRAEL
Arab Israelis
The Arab Israelis hold the key
To the future of the Israeli state
Equal status for all citizenry
Reject Hamas to ensure its fate
What Hamas was it ceased to be
With the attack that fateful day
To move on the Arab parties must lead
We can see no other way
An Israeli Arab partnership
To form a peaceful Jewish state
That could rebuild the Gaza Strip
How long must the world wait?
The dream of independent nations
Has drifted far from possible
It’s hard to live in segregation
Resolution seems improbable
We must reconsider everything
As reasoned people often do
When peace is balanced on a string
It may be time for something new
It begins with coexistence
With Israeli Arab representation
An end to stubborn Likud resistance
A new and safer Israeli nation
