Faith’s beating heart
buried deep
with heads in the sand
and the forgotten road map
to Jerusalem.
Blood runs through
a classroom;
a tomb of innocence
with a smashed roof
and scattered sketches.
How can you follow
a road map
in fighter jets;
with rockets?
Voices silenced,
screaming through sand,
drowned out by the sound
of explosions.
a beautiful piece, sad, horrendous, the children just don’t know …

The innocence of youth stripped away for the sake of a strip of rock…

I seen documentaries about the battlefield that is Israel in that area. It is so so sad. I wish our current leadership supported Israel. They are our friends.

That is eye-opening reality and the sad thing is that it continues to accumulate more deaths among women and children. This is a very good poetry read.
