Their enemies their brothers


Do they think more deeply
do they recognize their brothers
those whom they are fighting
for the land that they share
Thousands of years
since their father Abraham
Ishmael and Isaac
fighting the same battle
the legacy, the inheritance
the land that they share



====
November 21, 2012
announcement of a cease fire
between Gaza (Hamas) and Israel
&
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
