| Next WeekThe 60th Independence DayWill be celebratedWith boastful wastefulness.This week Israel lookedCruel and callous.Instead of accepting gladlyThe proposed cease-fire,It sent its soldiers into GazaFor another brutal and senseless attack.It refused to take responsibilityFor the killing of a motherAnd her four children.Those who love IsraelAnd worry about our image and futureWill find it hard to rejoice and be proud.We have not lost our hopeTo live in a countryWe can be proud off. |
