Can we know the sorrows left to linger on in us, are theirs, our ancestors, not yours, mine. Weary, old, stories told, told too many times - mishmash, re hash, re hash - yesterday gets confused with today. and we are sinking in it, drowning in the sorrows of the past making the same old battles last, last, become part of the infrastructure. O ye whose roots have lost ground see, the sun shines on a new day, on an empty page. Can we know the legacies left to us
of battles seeded in ancient time.
Can we know the sorrows left to linger on in us,
are theirs, our ancestors, not yours, mine.
Weary, old, stories told, told too many times -
mishmash, re hash, re hash -
yesterday gets confused with today.
and we are sinking in it,
drowning in the sorrows of the past
making the same old battles last, last,
become part of the infrastructure.
O ye whose roots have lost ground
see, the sun shines on a new day,
on an empty page.

In my helplessness, I shall try compassion. I want to echo Sandra Goth’s comment as I tend to rage against the news (of Gaza) but that is less than helpful.

To be more aware of my own acts of violence in word, action, or thought. And, of course, I pray. In my rage at the situation in Gaza I decided that compassion was my only course.
