Harold Pinter RIP.

Harold Pinter is dead, we had one
thing in common; he protested
against NATO’s bombing of Belgrade,
I did too. He disputed the invasion
of Iraq, so did I.

He called Bush and Blair war criminals
so did I. His voice was heard far an wide
mine was not, but in the end we were
both ignored, and that’s what we had
in common.

Yet, Harold Pinter could not find time
to sharply criticise Israel’s brutal
dealing with Palestinians, his voice
fell curiously silent; on that point
we had nothing in common.
