Hating their brothers

A legacy of anger
thousands of years
continuing division
that sliver of earth

Hating their brothers
the large family circle
the children of Ishmael
and the descendants of Isaac

&
announcement of a cease fire
between Gaza (Hamas) and Israel
November 21, 2012
&
the tragedy of the fighting in Gaza and Israel
and the source of the conflict
in the division of Ishmael and Isaac
the sons of Abraham
