Poem: http://poetry4palestine.blogspot.com/
The article I read was about blackouts in the Gaza Strip. " ...fuel shortages have forced them to shut down the Gaza Strip's lone power plant, causing blackouts in the already impoverished territory." The nation has no way to get oil, and now have to live in poor conditions. "Gaza's energy authority has until recently relied on fuel smuggled from Egypt to circumvent an Israeli blockade. But shortages in Egypt have halted the smuggling."
This article connects to the poem, " Landscape of Tragedy, Language of Sad Rhymes". " all victimized, all suffered hard times". These both describe the hard living conditions that people have in Palestine. The live on poor housing conditions, and are uncertain what their lives will be the next day.
