Splitting Differences
Ordnance
unleashed. A residential block
Reduced to
rubble, families rendered
Into body
parts, judgment suspended
By the perpetrators
of this attack,
An act of unconscionable
aggression
Deviously
portrayed as self-defence.
In Ukraine
it’s without purpose or sense,
Being due to
a despot’s callous decision.
Conversely
in Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon
It’s
justified proportionate action,
Targeting a
known terrorist faction
That,
despite civilians, had to be done.
Surely
culpable as the attackers
Are their
erstwhile belligerent backers?
