The Difference Poem by Rudy Hossam

The Difference

Rating: 4.4


In the middle of the night
My cell phone rang
My friend annoyingly woke me up
To tell me watch the news

Definitely it wasn't a nice time 2 call
I hanged up and didn't bother to move
The next day we met
She asked if I watched the news
I laughed at her and said of course not
Her face turned red with anger
I didn't understand her
But there seemed something strong
I quickly asked what's wrong

She told me...
'Children are dying...Blood is everywhere...
Israel isn't letting a day free...
They've no food...no water...no nothing...
And people like you prefer to sleep
Then to show care
From where do you expect victory? ? ?
And we just say Israel don't do that! ! !
It's just not right! ! !
When lazy people like you are around
Why would Israel care? ? ?
Why would Israel stop war? ? ?
If you don't care
Why do you blame Israel that she doesn't? ? ?

Gaza is a river of blood...
A mountain of skulls...
People are injured...
And there is no medicine to cure...
Was it to much just to watch the news? ? ?
Do we no longer feel? ? ?
Where did people's rights go? ? ?
Where did animal's rights go? ? ?
They treat animals better then people in Gaza! ! !
What is the meaning of that? ? ?
Is that something normal? ? ?
I can't believe what I see! ! !

Gaza we are all for you...
We will never surrender...
And if you aren't interested...
It's your choice...
But when your turn comes...
Don't cry for help...
Israel wouldn't stop...

When she stopped talking
My tears where unstoppable...
I was so speechless...
So ashamed of myself...

But my friend reminded me......
'It's Never Too Late To Make A Move'

This is a nice poem and it is true because 95% of people in the United States do not care about anybody but themselves and for them to go out of the way and care about someone other than themselves is extremely ignorant. But now that you realize that there is more to life than yourself you can make an effort in order to make your place in the world and give some of your time to people less fortunate than you. This can mark the first step in a long road to success because you give what you get and if you give a lot it will come back to you some way shape or form. Andrew Burant

Well, I think you've brought your friend's call/ deep concerns to us with emotion. The slight spelling mistakes will always be a'tiny drop' compared with the sincere feelings voiced through your poem. Keep writing, Rudy! And as far as the topic is concerned, as I write, we can already talk of a 'move', though still fragile, some people say. Thanks for sharing your poem(s) Maria

Conflictual issues are based on the might in this world not on justice. I see we should consider the afthermath of our action, if it satisfies us that is good or we should wait and self fortify till we would be able to win.
