RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: ISRAEL AT WAR
Human
Are we not human?
Do we not bleed?
In the name of humanity
Have mercy we plead
It is a time of grave danger
The cry of vengeance is loudest
Near the heart of deep sorrow
And the sorrow builds
Sorrow upon sorrow
Until it is changed to burning rage
And the tears of sorrow
Become tears of pain
And the end of pain is vengeance
A child of Palestine
Is a child of the earth
If you possess a heart
You acknowledge his worth
But vengeance is a forever thirst
The more you drink
The more thirst you feel
It can never be satiated
It grows and grows in leaps and bounds
It ravages all whom it entices
It replaces the heart with a blackened thing
That poisons all it touches
