“UNCOMMITTED” | A Poem by J. A. Faulkerson

You say you want to send a message, one that pushes the US president to demand a ceasefire along the Gaza Strip.  What you fail to realize is he’s not the one calling the shots, the Israeli president is.  And he’s on a mission to reshape the region to benefit Israel alone, not create a two-state solution.  Everyone agrees that Israel has a right to defend itself, but Palestinian citizens aren’t enemies, they’re neighbors.  Stop targeting their homes, schools and hospitals.  Target hearts, minds, souls on both sides of the ideological divide.  Righteous words and deeds signify that persons have compassion for all in their hearts.
