He puts his weapon in

          The hall

           Squeezing his little one    

           So tightly that tears

            Begin to fall

 

He puts his weapon in the hall

                    Goes to his wife

                     Who is quivering with

                      Anticipation

 

He puts his weapon in the hall

 Smiles and tears

  rain down on him

   They are going to have a boy

 

He puts his weapon down

          In the hall

           Smiles at the TV screen

            16 killed at a Gaza food depot

            Including men women children, and a baby

He grabs his weapon from the hall

          And with glee

           Goes out to kill

            Some more

A fine, original poem, David. It is so sad that the country of Yitzhak Rabin, Golda Meir and Shimon Peres should now be so shockingly led by the current clique.
Keep writing.

Thanks, David.

Private Eye no. 1655, summed up the grim truth with their front page "quoting" Netanyahu:

"No one will recognise Palestine after I've finished with it".

-sorry, Mr. Starmer!
