I walk on eggs
across the Kerem border

shalom, shalom, shalom

I walk underneath a new banner
a Red Diamond
knowing it will not protect me

for those with intent to kill
care not
for humanitarian symbols
care not for the agony
the ache
unless it be
enfolded within
their own family

and some day maybe

maybe
is the operative word...

Peace will prevail

and I might not need
the false security
of a Red Diamond
or a Red Crescent
or a Red Cross

or a questionning prayer
to some powerful being
who appears to me to be
nonexistent
or at least
in an
I don't give-a-damn
mood

Interesting title...but it kind of fits into I dont give a damn mood like u r feeling vulnerable and ready to explode, emotionally I think this is a good vent poem, something that u could keep reading and quickly become a favorite...good write...elevation is the key
