gaza stripped
ismail and issac
brothers spat out from the same womb
twin seed of abraham and jacob
their rear view memory mirrors now cracked
eyes for an eye and teeth for a tooth
blood washes the holy land

ismail now walled and weakened
livelihood snuffed out
his dwelling taken a shelling
no place to bury his brothers
banished from his ancient abode
his new borns with umblical cords tied to turbulence

he thinks, " either i be the bomb,
or i be bombed"
a bridegroom to vengeance
"he be the bomb"
