If you want peace in the world, be peace. Thich Nhat Hanh

I am become her Hamas
She, my Israel
How is it that we are family
To all others
Yet enemies to each other
Launching blame like bombs

Though it seem pure hubris
Blind, self-centered hubris
To abrogate to our petty fight
The horror of this new old war
Yet this is the only way
I can begin to grasp
The terrifying reality of grievances
That barricade love
And murder forgiveness

I cannot judge the world harshly
Without knowing myself
Part of the holocausts we create.
