'Human Rights'
A darling embroidered in lovers' hearts
To seek justice's not a crime, so I am told

The Palestinian boy
Happy his lot could've been
Chasing ball
Carefree under the open sky
Dreaming in colors
And of the scent of roses.
But there are no bouquets for this boy
Just coffins and the . . .

The story of a child
Not combat attire.
The story of a child
Disarrayed in the rain.
Columns of tanks in battle array
And a woman carrying a pitcher of the rain.
She is his mother in total disarray . . .

Patient tears dripping
Celestial lights mirroring
Her voice is the sound of music
The jittery nerves soothing.

A whole nation to ransom holds.

Poets are linked by a call, akin to faith

Oh, wrongdoer! . . .

Look me up in this picture blotted
There I am in wires adorned
Look from right to left

On the branch
Of a palm tree
And let Ache
On the wings
Flutter away.

A woman beaten here
A baby bashed there
Up against a wall
A population utterly pressed.
What's there to say?
Happiness . . .
