Anti War Poem

NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE

60 years since the Great Theft.
Nothing has changed.
Over 60 bombing raids on Gaza last night.
Over 900 Palestinians killed
in the short escalation of conflict.
13 Israelies have been killed
3 by their own soldiers in an accident.
Nowhere is safe.

60 years since the Great Theft
and Terror Plan ordered by
ministers sounding Western.
The vast majority of deaths
are Palestinian civilians
bombed from the sky.
A cowardly act
when you know your perceived enemy
has no Air Force.
Nowhere is safe.


60 years since the Great Theft.
It's strange to say
some might say beyond belief
that a people who suffered persecution
would soon become the torturers of others.
I know they have wandered the Earth
homeless themselves.
Therefore they should be more understanding
of the plight of others especially the children.
Violence breaths violence.
Nowhere is safe.

60 years since the Great Theft.
They have split Gaza into three
herding the old and weak like cattle.
Surely they remember the Holocaust
they have been there themselves
not so long ago.
When will they ever learn.
Stop the illegal occupation of Palestine.
Nowhere is safe.

60 years since the Great Theft.
War breaks out in near by Libya.
Within a week of hostilities
UN Security Council
declares a No Fly Zone.
60 years since the Great Theft
Palestine can be attacked
at anytime from the air.
Nowhere is safe.
Nobody seems to care.
