The Night That Sarah Sighed | Poem

"The Night That Sarah Sighed"
   Issac Sharon and Ishmael Arafat

   Sat and broke bread with one another

   Each the other's mortal enemy

   They with

   The whole world's history of Bloody Wars

   On their naked shoulders

   Looked

   Into one another's eyes and saw

   That they were brothers

   And they saw the same deep pain

   And the walls cam tumbling down.

- Thomas Henry
