No Tanka to Occupation

Let's boycott Israel

Growing up is fun

in Gaza or the West Bank

'playing cowboys and

Palestinians' (hurling rocks

at occupying tanks).


Sometimes the soldiers

played along by shooting rounds

of rubber bullets,

sometimes they shot real ones though

against our 'bones and marrows'...

This made me cringe. Not the writing, but the content itself.

P.S. Care to take a look at my novel, HIM? I'd like to send it in for publishing but won't until I feel I have enough feedback from people. (:
