One Tap Poems

1948 global birth of the Palestinian debate
to creating an Israeli state
Moshe Dayan
Yitzhak Rabin
...

The war on terrorism fact or fiction

The war on terrorism west or eastern
...

What do these lost days bring but words I play like keys

Emotion orchestrated like a symphony
...

What am I but a heart mistaken
Forgotten
Forsaken
What am i but a wind in the shadows
...

I am my own biggest failure
Saviour set for tomorrow
And today lasts forever
I am a teacher
...

Will letters spell the same meanings
what are my words if they cannot describe my feelings
manipulated in censorship to protect political proceedings
what are my words if not born to highlight the suppressed and poor
...

My pockets cannot hold enough
Fish net hands
Stay empty
Ignored as if a different telling
...

Alone now once again
Single as my mind
I sit in thought
A pecking of my heart
...

Peace is the solution
Vision to soldiers leaving barracks with conviction
Attacking the weakness of defenseless global nations
To deepen the pockets of chairman stealing pensions
...

How will they forgive us as we watch with closed eyes
Their pain death and suffering we accept behind lies
How will they forgive us if they heard the words we speak
Read the words we print
...
