The Nameless


Freed Soldier Gilad Shalit Returns To Israel
1,000 stories silenced
From unknown men
With unspoken names

Nameless women will shed countless tears
For returning husbands and brothers
With untold tales

The only name uttered is Gilad Shalit
One life worth 1,000

What strange calculus
Privileges 1 to 1000?
What curious math 
Sentences so many lives to abstraction?
