Where Love Rebounds

UPDATED 1-2-2026; I added a few new verses and few edits to this poem. This poem is a symbol of hope, which grew from a VERY pain filled feeling of hopelessness; a hopelessness that was largely fueled by Trump and Netanyahu increasing the suffering and killing of the Palestinian people, in an effort to force them to "choose" to leave Gaza and the West Bank, as they finish stealing the Palestinian lands...etc. They just expelled masses of foreign aid workers from Gaza and the West Bank, which leaves the Palestinians in an utterly hopeless and catastrophic situation. Its so evil and so cruel and so inhumane that its hard to believe and face. But face it, we must, because this shows us what places like Israel and our USA are being lead/ruled by right now. 

   There seems to be nothing, that us common folk can do to stop their cruelty in Palestine, or in the multitudes of other places where they greedily instigate or directly perform wars that enable them to move in and take control, especially since they have no regard for our feelings and wishes. But there are things we can do... We can stop being deceived by them. We can reject their lead and let Love grow, as much as is possible, in our own communities; We can reject their hate and prejudice and warring ways, and embrace people of all faiths and all colors and all political parties...etc. We can follow our own hearts instead of the evil that uses them. We can still let Love win.
