A BLOODSTAINED SHOE

The Palestinian lived here.

Every one knew

The Palestinian!

Today

The Palestinian lives there.

Every one knows

He doesn't live there!

In existence

Are the ghettos

Of injustice

And inexistence!

Somewhere

Between existence

And coexistence

A Palestinian outlives

Inexistence

And is left for dead!

Somewhere

A blood stained shoe

Pointing in the direction

Of revenge!

Somewhere

A people

Huddled in the consoling exodus

Of extinction!
