Children of Gaza and Isreal
By Dhanuka Dickwella
Vengeance – Retribution – Justice
The cousins of the same family
Only with minor differences
Bloodline the same
One cry for blood
One for an eye to eye
The other seems noble
In the eyes of humans
For the cousins happiness
There is always ,
A price one must pay .
A price paid by
Another human being
Whose more noble
Whose more prudent
Whose virtue is high
Ask the dead Arabic & Jewish children

What I feel is, this is a thought-provoking exploration of complex themes related to vengeance, retribution, justice, and morality. The reference to “Arabic & Jewish children” in the final line provides a poignant connection to real-world conflicts, underscoring the poem’s relevance in a broader social and political context. The ambiguity in the poem adds depth, leaving certain questions unanswered, which I prefer that way. This poem is a compelling piece of work that encourages reflection and discussion on important ethical issues. Another great output by Dhanuka.
