SUNSHINE ON SADNESS

I glanced out the window and

Saw the sun shining through the trees

Onto the golden leaves that has fallen.

Then I thought of the many Jews who

Have been slaughtered by the Lebanon

Hezbollah and Hamas. Why, I wondered

Has this hatred of the Jews persisted.

Why must we persecute these people

Who have been trashed and terrorized

During the last century. They have their

Promised land back and have yielded

Territory to their oppressors and still

That is not enough. The enemy wants

All of the land and the extermination

Of all the Jews. I know that Jesus will

Return, when least expected, and take

Care of the injustices. It is easy to say

Bomb the enemy, but that brings further

Escalation and does no good. We must

Come to the table and finally agree to

Work together to make our planet

The finest it can be. We must honor

And adore the Jew who died for our

Sins. We must respect all people and

Make sure that no one is left behind.

The sky is now a deep gray with only

a glimmer of light in the far reaches.

Stanski
