No stone throwing boys
only men in the
valleys of the Middle East

in love with their country. In
death they are heroes
and we are their reflection
a mirror of serenity.

Wrapped in widows and fear
wisdom abandons the
battleground.

Thanks much, Tina. It is a challenge to encapsulate the tragedy, blood and maiming in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We are so fortunate in North America. The best, Richard LP
