Sidelined extremists
hard-liner refugees

At the end of the day
we’ve made progress,
unification that the “Victors”
can’t protest

It’s a Spartan victory,
1 to 2
2 to 5
5 to 6 overnight.
We’ve won Golan Heights.

But there’s a price—
collateral damage,
it’s always the innocents
who pick the shortest straws

(it’s always the innocents
who we leave behind)

you can’t quantify people
by numbers

no one is guiltless.
