In Response of Naomi Shihab's "All Things Not Considered"

The mournful war cry
Deeply sunk the emotions
The Palestinians and Israelis
Losing the holiness and affections,
Of the language between two
were crushed into pieces.

Was this holy enough
to unite a language as one?

Was it holy enough
to pick up with sticks and stones
that were hunger for blood?

The Palestinians' cry
for Muhammad al-Durra
Asel Asleh too been wept on,
has uncover the Medusa's deceiving eyes
That petrified the Arabian women
and the Israelis
who sang the song of hope.

Was it holy enough?
To continue the marching guns
that projectiles their bullets
Killing the only seed
of their future.

Could you offer more mercy?
To end such tragedy
The holiness is not our enemy,
But our remedy in need.

Homeless, hopeless
As their beautiful nightmare began.
Even in their sleep.

Till the end
The baby's curls
died in the midst of agony,
The cloud cries for them
The sun shone for them
To the Holy God Almighty.

Explanation of the poem:
The poem is about the aftermath of the war between the Palestinians-Israelis where many innocent children have died in the battlefield. When it comes to the question of political conflicts, the Israelis put the holiness of religion and caused a riot of Palestinians who were demonstrating the dissatisfactions of the political system.

I have reused the style of poetry which has been used by Naomi Shihab, such as the repetition of "holy" as a way to show that religion is not the main factor of the war, but human nature themselves who started the war between themselves. Because of anger and strong disagreements which has been done by the two races, the riot began to dehumanize their sense of rationality and they have misused religion as a way that the war started. The incidents of Muhammad al-Durra  and Asel Asleh represent the cruelty of the Israeli politicians in order to gain power and belittle Palestinians. Language in this poem represents the unity of the two races of Israelis and Palestinians. Overall, most of the personification is used to classify the human characteristics of the "sun", "cloud", "sticks and stones that were hunger for blood", "marching guns", "That holiness is not our enemy" and "mournful war cry". It has eventually displayed how detrimental the situation happened in war.
