Isn’t
it ironic
They
still blame the Muslims
Isn’t
it ironic
But
that’s just lowest rung
Isn’t
it ironic
That
their children sign the bombs
Isn’t
it ironic
We
call them the Chosen Ones
Isn’t
it ironic
How
we lost them to a book
Isn’t
it ironic
They’ve
forgotten where to look
Isn’t
it ironic
While
we steal our neighbor’s land
Isn’t
it ironic
On
the top, it’s only sand
Isn’t
it ironic
You
vote for him to stop the war
Isn’t
it ironic
That
he will only bring you more
Isn’t
it ironic
That
you thought you knew the score
Isn’t
it ironic
Now
it’s your turn to be poor
Isn’t
it ironic
Though
we won’t admit we’re slaves
Isn’t
it ironic
It’s
what makes us all the same
Isn’t
it ironic
Rule
by barrel of a gun
Isn’t
it ironic
Now
we’re all Palestinians

Free, I enjoy your poetry immensely. It reminds me of this song, a new song that is coming out now. I love Rhymesayers Entertainment, they are a group of artists, mainly hip hop, out of Minneapolis, MN. Brother Ali lost his parents at 16. This man, an albino, found 'family in his adopted religion. (He is also part of the Rhymesayers Entertainment family)
Hope you enjoy

Thanks Pandora. Never hear much about my poems (although this one was an Alanis Morissette knock-off). Liked Brother Ali...good message.
