The sirens went off like screaming children, first one, then another - finally multitudes.
8 killed. Hotline number: 12 55 023 106. It is Jerusalem. Early March, 2008.
Holes in our roofs. Rockets on Ashkelon.
The UN is alarmed. The UN condemns Israel over Gaza.
They talk Jihad. Jihad. Jihad.
Some pray.
Others fight.
He fights and prays.
We are pestered by another visit.
And with empty words
By empty politicians
Upholding empty politics.
And here we stand. Waiting for dawn…
Waiting for the light of day….
Waiting for pioneers to stretch up and bring the sun.

I read the different accounts today — of the funerals, the violence. May we find peace.
