- Write 1-2 line introduction to your poem.
- Explain what triggered the response of inspiration.
O Lord
Did you forget about us?
Remind them back
Between heaven and hell
Shows some miracle
Twist the sympathy to empathy
O Lord
We are helpless.
I did respond to the poem All Things Not Considered by Naomi Shihab Nye because I was impressed by the author itself. As what we know, outsider claims my own religion, Islam as terrorist. Naomi is really different than the others poet because she is not prejudice towards human’s race or religion. She is seeking for the humanity for the Palestine. Palestine issue had been known well by the world, but there was no changes towards the issue. This poem will definitely open the reader’s mind and give to them empathy’s feeling towards the Palestinians’. Regarding to the poem, I would like to dedicate it to the authority. The action can only be done by them. They have the power to settle the issue. The reader could not do anything, because the authority rules the world.
