Translated, from hebrew
Author, of hebrew original – version: Shmuel Yerushalmi. Israel
The sky,
Covered with clouds:
Lead- rain,
Fall on the ground.
Everything shaking trembling
And blaze,
In the flame vanish.
The war whisper
With her leaves:
The flame of her horror,
Breakthrough and penetrate.
The earth,
Burning under –
Our feet
And burnt in flame
Of battle .
The leaders,
Cowards
And brainless,
Eternal- between them!
Like a grouse hurry to-
A fight.
They lead all of us-
To the bottom,
On the ground,
Like a fire,
Under our feet,
Still burning!

| i feel that the poem is trying to make a valuble point in regard to the situation in the holy land.i also feel that something has become lost in the translation.Then again it is not what,so then how the poet means it |
