Some Of Them Are Brave


Everyone knew it was happening

the unheard story

the tens of thousands dead,

the millions displaced,

the decades of rubble,

the destroyed schools.

hospitals, universities

everyone knew.


Everyone knew it was happening

the unheard story

even though the journalists were dead

or expelled and banned

everyone knew.


Everyone knew it was happening

the unheard story

of the hundreds

or thousands,

or tens of thousands

who had disappeared

uncharged with any crime

or misdemeanour

everyone knew.


Then three Israeli workers

blew their whistles loud

and everyone heard

what everyone knew.


Now the trick is to listen.
