If Only…


If only the dispossessed would behave,
stop terrorising us demanding their
rights; then we wouldn’t have to
retaliate, flatten their homes and
accidentally kill women and children.

If only the dispossessed would behave
we’ll gladly help, providing they do as
we say, be patient and wait till their land
is fully occupied, then we can say to
the world “ It’s a fait accompli “

If only the dispossessed would behave
we’ll be generous and say, the country
needs you, you can stay in designated
areas, those we have fenced in, but
only if you are modest and do as we say.

Oskar,


I do not know what to say about this... I somehow detect a sarcastic tone, or maybe it's just in me...


As for the way in which it's written I Like it... I am looking at this as objectively as I can....  

There's an honesty in thought here... The mockery of it all hits pointedly.


If Only is also an apt title... The content did surprise me, though and I did enjoy it...


Catch you later...

Jan,

This is tremendous!. It's in the polished work forum so I shall offer no crit but I enjoyed it; Thank you. I wonder if anyone in The Knesset is reading? I do hope so.

James.
