A dove
that once perched on a giant Buddha statue
could have
flown over the Mediterranean sea
spread its wings
over the Gaza strip
before
history was desecrated
when bombs rain over graveyards,
justice was maimed when
shells pounced on a facility for the handicapped
altering the maps printed in
edited history textbooks.
The dead should never speak again
stirring the hornet’s nest
And further delaying
the long wait for poetic justice.
