Array ( [sid] => 64694 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Palestinian And The Jew [time] => 2004-09-22 03:50:24 [hometext] => A play on life, by Hazlan Zakaria. A presentation of the great joke that is our brave new world of the 21st Century, this so called 'New World Order'. [bodytext] => Jew:
We are a wronged people
repressed and censured
for our race.

Palestinian:
We are a conquered people
repressed and terrorized
on our own lands.

Jew:
Our people are herded into concentration camps
forced to suffer under the iron hand of the Nazis
men, women and children killed out of hand.

Palestinian:
Our peole are herded into refugee camps
forced to suffer under the iron hand of the Israelis
men, women and children killed out of hand.

Jew:
We bomb civilians
and assassinate individuals
but for the safety
of our ancestral homeland.

Palestinian:
We bomb civilians
and throw grenades at soldiers
but for our freedom
and our stolen homeland.

Jew:
Our first prime minister
is a terrorist you say
no! indeed he is a freedom fighter.

Palestinian:
Yasser Arafat
is a terorist you say
no! indeed he is a freedom fighter.

Jew:
The Stern Gang are not terorrists
but soldiers in our war for freedom.

Palestinian:
The Hamas are not terorrists
but soldiers in our war for freedom.

Jew:
The world should excuse our astrocities
the US and everyone else did nothing
when Hitler did this to us.

Palestinian:
The world should excuse our terror activities
the US and everyone else did nothing
as the Israelis did this to us.

Commentator:
An endless circle it is
this ride of miscontrued innocence
past wrongs are munitions
employed for present actions
there is scant truth
much less any sense
in this endless cycle
of endless violence
both sides have their points
until these are redressed
there is no resolution
especially for the hypocritical judge
who speaks for his much adored freedom
but ignore moral clauses
in his own pursuit of happiness
within his just cause
the deaths of others are collateral
a mere three thousand of his deaths
and the world has to pay consequence
you take away their voice
left their political will overthrown
and yet you ask their objections
be spoken in peaceful terms
"why?" would the high-horsed judge ask
"do we bore the brunt of agression?"
"why are our shores be visited by terrorism?"
why else indeed
but the price you pay
for your splendid ignorance
to judge for others only in your own terms
and to support those who you gave free license
only to fight for so called freedom
when it is in your own cognizance.

The World:
I grive for thee
I grieve for me
for such indulgence
brings only contention
Is there an end to this
to more peaceful existance
alas I see no end
but a higher octave
to this melody
an endless malady
such is the human condition. [comments] => 8 [counter] => 177 [topic] => 56 [informant] => Baronhawk [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 25 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => sarcasticpoetry )

Excellent poem! You have provided an insightful look
at the claims of each side.

Such is the conundrum of the Middle-East Conflict

You have hit the nail on the haed, and rammed the point home.
But in the end it all points to a need to destroy...I guess there is no such thing as other ways of dealing with it....
Awesome write.

Every race feels certain iniquities. I can't understand after all the horrors these have caused that race, color, creed, or religion is still around. We never seem to learn that we are all the same, just from different parts of an huge ancestery pool. We should embrace the kalidoscope of history and cultures and knowledge. We don't, we sit on our judgmental butts and teach our children to do the same. Sad.but magnificent piece of work, Hazlan.

This was very good. I too like how you've given both opinions. Well thought out piece. I will never understand the cruelty of humankind, or why people have such a hard time respecting others. This earth is one crazy place! I hope someday we all realize what idiots we are, and really will live together in peace....."All we are saying is give peace a chance"(John said it very well)!

In French we call this a "dialogue de sourds" : a conversation between deaf people. You've captured it well.

This poem is just so thought provoking, I must say. It reminds us of mankind's cruelty among each other. Good work on this, pal! A great poem coming out from the land Malaysia
