cracks

                                                     Cracks
Cracks expanding like silky threads of a spider’s web
reaching spreading  bonding more & more to ripple linking spokes everywhere
cracks on the face of the apartheid wall deepening connecting bonding -dazzling

Each crack a breath of freedom every fracture a warm touch of hope healing despair
a frozen lake of apathy, indifference & silent conformity relentlessly split by insatiable struggle
ruptures popping & cascading from ripples of unfaltering struggle for social justice

Lines of free will forming creating a canvas from abuses & usurpations for all to see
listen to them crackle and pop as they sing their hope for emancipation &autonomy
i heard them sing of a power within the prison of Bethlehem that could never be muted

Each burst of light illuminating  insidious ethnic cleansing, occupation & military subjugation
the 30 foot tall  great grey prison walls are crumbling from the weight of their own oppression
for on the other side i see free people strongly stepping out of the darkness lit in integrity

Splinters like Courage to Refuse & B’tselem reaching into every dark corner
Bab al-Shams,& True Torah Jews Against Zionism spreading their truth
The Black Hands, Gaza Youth,EI, & CPT together with the same message; Let my people go

So that one day i see the radiance even illuminating the Knesset
for one day egalitarianism will fill this the darkest hole of the abyss
from water to water no fence, no check point no more ethnic cleansing no more apartheid

When all the cracks unite to splinter the wall of hate as it then falls crumbles into dust filling the grave
on a warm summer day when all the soot settles from this great inevitable collapse

as all the people jew, muslin, christian & secular diverse yet united as it was meant to be
