IF


If the people can be just Iraqis, 
not just Shiites and Sunnis ;
If the bloodshed can cease ,
then, will there be peace?

If the UN holds sway,
and the Taliban fades away ; 
will there be democracy ,
and the people be free?

If the Israelis guarantee,
a Palestine that's free;
will chances increase,
for a Middle-East, finally at peace?

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
