This write is based on the idea that Gaza and the Palestinians are not victims of hate, but because evil loves destruction, they are, in fact, the victims of love. The art metaphor was inspired by the Red Hand Files #355
Another beautiful day dawns in Gaza
as he admires his sculptures
victims of his love
Polishing rough edges
after careful, endless siege
Sulphur and ash pigments
splatter the canvas
Crushed concrete and tear gas
the rubble catches the morning sun
in negative spaces
The screams add new textures
to the palette
His meticulous love
crafting masterpieces
signed with an airstrike
His initials salt the fields
The critics gather
viewing from watchtowers
the tenderness in the demolition
the love in every line
In exhibition
his greatest work
entitled ‘Peace’
There are murmurs of great restraint
“the composition is heartbreaking”
Evil enjoys destruction
looks upon its work as art
with a curator’s pride

What a perfect take on this subject matter. Such a struggle to wrap my mind around, the ways we treat other humans.
I am certainly enjoying your poetry. I’m glad to have discovered you.

Thanks so much. 🙏 I think that there are a few readers who don’t wish to comment on my more political pieces, for whatever reason, but, as you say, it’s about our own humanity and it is a struggle to wrap our heads around.

There’s likely people who prefer to keep this place free of controversial expression and dialog. I get it, this is my safe place too. But when it comes to being human it hits a very base place within me and I’ll always share how I view regarding being human and what that requires of us.
I’d say thanks for posting it for the thought provoking it provided
