" Get up Grandfather "

 

lying there in your garden

 

covered by your flowers...Grandfather

 

 

 

I came to hear a story

 

of how the earth came to be

 

you taught me each flower's name

 

gentle spirit...kind soul

 

now laying silent in your garden, row by row

 

soldiers with guns-Bulldozer too

 

Indifferent Jew spitting on you

 

GrandFather-you loved all men

 

" We are like flowers" you once said

 

" here today-gone tomorrow-do we reflect

 

Allah's Love or man's hate?"

 

Old stupid man!!--My Brother's say

 

Hate seeping out of their eyes

 

Bloody rocks in their hands

 

72 Virgins not far away

 

GrandFather..... wake UP!!---I'm only 11

 

Rain now gently falls

 

is there crying now in Heaven??

 

Grandfather--I need you....

 

your garden is now a driveway.....

 

for people with a strange tongue....

 

Gentle spirit..........

 

 

                                        Kind soul........

These are very poignant memories. A world in turmoil creates great character.
