If ONLY
If only this, then I would do that. "If only" absolves me from attaining my goals and true purpose becomes the diagnosis of my situation my scapegoat from my inaction. "If only" absolves me in my mind. In my soul I know the true nature of "if only" But I close the door to my soul Disconnect from it and walk away from my dreams that sit waiting for me with open arms.

Israel was attacked by the terrorist organization Hamas, whose stated purpose for being is to kill the Jewish people. Over 1,000 civilians were slaughtered and assaulted in ways too terrible to describe here.
