Through Differing Prayers

[Dave D Poet Rhumour]

Nine brave souls on the Irene

sailed to show the world a scene

where not all Jewish voices scream

for a blockade on Gaza's dream

of a future without deprivation

for that tiny short changed nation

No violence was incurred today

but the goods were a token some would say

though tokens from within their own

may gain some votes that could dethrone

those men with agendas of hostility

to all who try to visit Gaza by sea

A small yacht with so little power

was bound to be boarded within the hour

no speed to dash, no arms to fire

but the words that follow their trip may inspire

another wave of voices to join the steadfast few

who within Israel would like to renew

peace for all, the one real sense,

which when it comes will bring immense

relief for all that seek a chance to be

free of constraints, free to be free.

With luck the talks that have been held

will make agreements that can forge and weld

a bond between those neighbours who share

a love of Jerusalem through differing prayers...
