Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Pine and Whine

Israel became a fact of state
When powers that be said it be.
Nobody could predict its fate,
Surrounded by sworn enemy.
For decades Israel has survived
By doing what it had to do.
In many ways Israel has thrived.
Its hopes and dreams are coming true.
But outsiders do criticize.
U.S.ers like to harp and fret
That Israel has faults, and chastise
That Israel isn't perfect yet.

Those who can't do only opine.
U.S. pundits just like to whine.
