Colin Ian Jeffery - TWO MOTHERS

2014-11-08 1

Israeli and Palestine conflict


Prostrate with grief
Rachel weeps for a dead son
Killed by a suicide bomber.

Prostrate with grief
Sarah weeps for a dead son - -the suicide bomber
Who believed blood would set his people free.

Blood begets blood
Reprisal follows reprisal.
There is no honour in death
Only tears of mothers for dead children.
