Jesus that was awful

Israel seems to be 
a problem that will never 
go away, to some. 

While others flip 
the focus, pull back 
the frame and just say 

the whole Middle-East 
is what seems
to be wrong. 

Still others zero in 
to make the problem 
Palestine. 

While I sit here safe,
dry and face wet,
excusing myself 
out of any potential
obligation to contribute
to conceivable solution. Saying 

there isn't any, not with 
the problem as posed.  

Writing prose vainly
broken up into stanzas 
propping up lines
that don't end in rhymes

Counting myself helpless
to help. Saying this "poem" 

is all I could "do." 

Welp
