But all you can see

in front of your hate

ridden face and rect

-angular glasses

is

how he's holding her

and her daughters

and sons hostage

You see a crime

against humanity

as they cower around

the angry bearded man

in their crowded cage

stereotypically

shooting

blindly

angrily

despe

rately

at You

his very

precise Other

You &

the Other

you Brothers

have started your

fight under the olive trees again

all birds

and goats have fled

there is too much noise

too much dirt

too much blood

too much smoke

and you never

come up with

the simple

power of

a handshake

a forgive you

and the poetics

of raising

doves on

neighbour
