To see
a child
inside
a school
engulfed in
a lake of fire, left in the flames, to burn there and die
should
push you
to rush
in and save
her from the rising sea of flames. Such a hero would be
the image of basic human decency. Better I burn than you.
But we
live in a
world
in which the inferno and imps are up here, raising the flames
with them as they emerge, allowing no aid, doing nothing to stop it.
They’d have us all on fire rather than deluged with compassion.
I don’t
believe
in a hell below, but if I am wrong, the wrong who are making our
hell up here should be dropped in that lake of fire down there, to
be tormented day and night for ever and ever, as they are doing
to all of those in Gaza. The Holy Land is most unholy these days.
