Extreme "left"
and extreme "right" one-staters
usurp the Palestinian refugees very real
right of return to turn it into
the complete destruction
of Palestine
bit by bit
day by day year by year
unresolved
the Israel/Palestine conflict plays out
Extreme "left"
and extreme "right" one-staters
colonize the conversation
Recruiting radicals
and religious idiots
the Israel/Palestine conflict rages on and on
until no one reasonable
and no one wise
and no one kind
no one sane
is willing to
bother... Outsiders take over
and insiders are exiled
alienated- disenfranchised
or disappeared
and destroyed ... silenced
so that the Israel/Palestine conflict can continue
raging on until Palestine isn't.
