Peace For All Beings
At a distance the photograph of the bombing
of Gaza portrays only streaks of light.
It is those who are bombed who smell the blood,
hear the screams, and see the panic as dead
children are pulled from the rubble. The victors have bulldozers, tanks, drones, the homes of those they've evicted. The poor have slingshots, but like ancient David they will prevail against this modern
Goliath. It is time for the UN to mediate and enforce a peace treaty.
SHANTISWARUPLAARA
Sanskrit for a human being fashioned of peace
