Senryu

Street bravado
A frantic way to cover
For lack of self worth

Senryu

Street credibility
Is to be on friendly terms
With the bully

Senryu

Israel’s creation
Confirms beyond doubt
That violence works.

Senryu

Only true cowards
Have the intelligence needed
To leave street life

Senryu

Often murder is…
A small man’s easy answer
To a big problem

Tanka

To tell Palestinians:
“Get a life, forget Nakba.”
Is like telling Jews:
“Get a life, forget Holocaust
It never happened anyway.”

Tanka.

Time is a vacuum
Through its enormity we walk
On paths unseen,
Yet each one is made for us
And leads to where sky meets sea.
