frozen tears
like crystal drops
on bloodied rivers
calls of injustice
unanswered
and the world watches…
…in wonder
at the dignity of a nation
as He too bides His time
in answering our prayers
humanity must evolve
it’s now or never
~ Gaza ~

The worst part of the injustices is that they keep putting a positive spin on their actions through their controlled media. Most disdainful… Feeling frustration, anger and helplessness… Please continue to speak up!

I agree on the controlled media and positive spin. And how loud and convincing they sound….

Dear Sonya,
Thank you very much for this poem. I actually just responded to a post by Ranu. I was thinking of Gaza as I wrote that response.
I like this poem, particularly how it ends, as it states, “humanity must evolve.” And that is exactly the case.
All good wishes,
robert

Thanks Robert, yes indeed we need to evolve. Though it is heartening to see a lot of outrage over Gaza…still there needs to be more pressure. Every prayer I try to find words for the Gazans…it’s very difficult.
