Genevieve Cora Fraser: Palestine Balanced
Palestine Balanced
On the Shards of
American-Israeli Rule
By Genevieve Cora Fraser
A compost heap
Of
aspirations
Mukata
Headquarters
The remains
Of
Palestine's power
Leans a
broken
Disheveled
Watchtower
Against the
stark
Blue Palestinian
Sky an eye
On the
death
Watch waiting
For Israel's final
Foray into
madness
The annihilation
Zionists relish
As
deserving
The victor's right
To the spoils of war
Bits of debris blow
Whipped by currents
Of
changing fortunes
Red dirt mounds
Frame the
capitol
A burial site of national
Dreams topped by
shards
A blackened roof
Collapsed
&
Weighted
Against Palestine's Right
To Return as a People
A
nation
To this Holy Place
Arafat prays
Defiant in
endurance
Determined still
In command
Hoping for
salvation's
Mercy
While Sharon elated
With the
agony
He begets
Toys
With the strings
Of life
and death
