RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: ISRAEL
Victims of War
Hamas is not Palestine
Yet the Palestinians will pay the price
For this brutal attack on Israel
Israeli citizens are not Netanyahu
Yet Israelis will pay the price
For Netanyahu’s militancy
The victims of war are often not
The perpetrators of war
The citizens of Gaza live in poverty
Subjected to constant abuse
Death and destruction are part of their lives
They did not vote for this war
They do not deserve what follows
The citizens of Israel are proud
They have a legacy of suffering
Most Israelis did not vote for brutality
Most are frustrated by their government
Most only want to survive in peace
But all Israelis suffered from this
unconscionable act of war
The innocent of both sides
Will continue to suffer and die
Until the leaders of both sides
Finally find a path to peace
