“You can never stop the wind

     that shakes the barley"


                    <>

If one looked horizontally at

a field of barley, it resembled

the standing army of Britains

  Empire, (metaphorically).


The invisible wind which had

the ability to taunt and tilt and

haunt, was in fact the I.R.A.


This analogy can be made of

the Israeli Defence Forces in

their effort to fight/find Hamas.


The aerial bombing of Gaza

was futile, because Hamas

are invisible just as the IRA.


Who would have thought

that a population similar to

Gaza collapsed an Empire.


Israel despite all their bombs

and planes and tanks and guns,

will be brought to their knees.








Ps.


The Kites of Gaza have

  the same symbolism.

The breadth of wind is

vast and immeasurable,

in Ireland it's Gael Force.
