Two Mothers Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery
Two Mothers
(Israeli and Palestine conflict)
Prostrate with grief
Rachel weeping for a dead son
Killed by suicide bomber.
Prostrate with grief
Sarah weeping for dead son --- the suicide bomber
Who believed blood set his people free.
Blood begets blood
Reprisal follows reprisal.
With no honour in such a death
Only tears of mothers for dead children.
Conflicts of neighboring counrties lead to bloodshed and arrogant reprisals.. it continues.. your concern is beyond words.. expessed very well. share this thought for a cause..10+ Rema
can't even come up with a worthy comment. Anyone who loses a child falls to the ground with their tears. Thanks for this one.
Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. It is a classic. Sir, you are a pride of the poet ftaternity of the world.
Intense. really painful. It really works because most of everyone would agree to stop to such viloent war ate somethng like this. really good.
Yet again...the resonance of a prayer i could hear in your words!
The best sauces are made through a process of reduction and I think the best poems also. You have defined the futility of a seemingly intractable conflict wonderfully.
if only this world could share your emotions -we would not have to search for heaven elsewhere-u are an artist colin and can achieve to paint a beautiful world with your words - all the best

Another casualty of Man's inhumanity to Man! Can harmony be so difficult? Excellent composition.
