Rifle shots darken
day, mood, life force.
Killing Jews in Australia
doesn’t save Palestinians
suffering in Gaza. Just as
slaughtering people in Gaza
has not stopped terrorists.
What, then? Hibernate? Enter
the darkness? Escape
under that blanket, despair?
Or light our candles
for all?
Written for Quadrille #238 at dVerse: 44 words including ‘hibernate’.
People have been lighting candles for those killed in the recent Bondi Beach attack on civilians celebrating Hanukkah. Others are asking why we don't do that for the victims of the genocide in Gaza.
