The Game Of Mistrust Poem by Elizabeth Padillo Olesen

The Game Of Mistrust

Rating: 4.5


I am tired of your childish wars,
Israel and Palestine!
I am tired of your violent politics
in the pretext of self-defense!
Nothing is won in your wars
except the loss of innocents!
Nothing is gained by your wars
except the rising hatred
from both your sides!
Nothing is won by
your game of mistrust
except the stain of screaming blood
in both your hands!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Lamenting over the situation between Israel and Palestine. Both have continued their wars of mistrust.

Kindly read my previous poem posted sometime ago, 'The Promised Land for both Jews and Palestinians'

Thanks for your dear respone, Aung Si. Let us continue to pay attention to what is happening between Israel and Palestine and hope that the best solution will come up which both sides will agree. The generations of blood shedding cannot just continue, otherwise there is no hope and peace in their midst and in our world.

Of course! Though they say this is self-defense, actually they go on by ignoring blood of innocents.Well done.This is 9!
