RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
Bondi Beach
We mourn the dead of Bondi Beach
As we grieve the dead in Palestine
Mercy moves beyond our reach
There is no justice we can find
The Jewish people cannot be blamed
For the mindless vengeance of one man
For though they share a Jewish name
The stand apart on the Zion plan
Each man and woman on the earth
Has a right to their own beliefs
Each man and woman has their worth
And is entitled to share relief
When we seek vengeance as a cause
You can be sure it will strike back
If we’re a people of civilized laws
We can’t condone such vile attacks
So let us mourn all those who die
In the cause of vengeful pride
Let us condemn the reasons why
End the vengeance on both sides
