Here is my poetic take on today’s announcement of a tenuous ceasefire deal:<\/p>\n

Ten U.S. Peace in Middle East<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In the daze of deals
\nSuperlatives fly
\nStill
\nGazans killed
\nThis day
\nSoully hoping
\nTo bare their dead
\nFrom the rubble of genocide
\nTears
\nIn the fabric of life
\nWile co-genocidaires give high fives
\nAs if add up to a perfect ten
\nWe\u2019ve a textbook sew what
\nSeams like tens
\nOf thousands of lifetimes ago
\nWhat is it that
\nMight be
\nA greed
\nThat nethermost temp
\nIn taking
\nWon\u2019s foot off the gas
\nChambers emptied
\nArms re-stocked
\nProstheses of the soul amiss
\nThe countless endings
\nAnd endless passabilities
\nWhere have we landed?
\nA real state deal?<\/p>\n
