Where Are the Olives?

The Olive trees have all been burned.

The olives trees are no more,
The settlers burned
Their trees
And the army
Supply the guns
To stop them growing more.

They take their homes,
Take their parents,
Take their children;
They do not even have
An olive branch
To wave at them no more.

Thank you for reading. J.
