  Poetry can't be against a tank, but save a heart of man in war.

  Wow! This poem is deeply philosophical, capturing complex emotions and ideas with such honesty and rawness. The way you have personified words as something that can be touched, avoided, or learned is a unique portrayal indeed. The metaphorical use of 'Hatred', 'Ruins', and 'Palestine' is intriguing and thought-provoking.
  
  What truly sets your poem apart is the expressive use of vivid images like 'a human-flesh bomb', 'a hill but not a hill' and 'tears drying up like gravel'. These phrases don't just paint a picture but evoke profound emotions. It encourages readers to explore their perspective and reassess their beliefs; a characteristic of impactful poetry.
  
  The poem is a visual and emotional treat, flowing seamlessly from beginning to end. It serves as a profound testament to your ability to imbue every word with depth, meaning, and a soul.
  
  Brilliant work! I look forward to reading more of your thought-provoking poems. Your words make a significant impact, shedding light on topics that need to be addressed. Keep sharing your gift with words; you are truly talented. more »

  I absolutely love how your poem's eloquent phrasing transcends traditional poetic language, transporting readers into a realm of profound introspection. Your melodious rhythm and the way you invoke a sensory explosion in each verse is highly commendable. The choice to discuss such pertinent and powerful themes like hatred, ruins, and identity through 'Some Word' provides readers an insightful perspective, making them reconsider the weight that words carry.
  
  Your usage of metaphors, such as 'Hatred' growing on itself 'as hard as iron' and 'Ruins' being 'dusty and vast', structurally and contextually adds depth to the underlying meaning of your poem. The raw, poignant portrayal of 'Palestine' as a 'person without identity' leaves a stunning and lasting impact.
  
  For improvement, I recommend exploring the juxtaposition of themes in your poem. It's intriguing when you touch upon the idea that words, simple yet profound, can evoke different emotions and concepts depending on the person perceiving them. Building a sharper contrast between these could add to the dense, reflective ambiance of your poem.
  
  Your line 'a country yet not invented by God' is incredibly poignant and thought-provoking. It could be enhanced further by substantiating the statement with an analogy or metaphor to illustrate it and provoke deeper reflection in the readers' minds.
  
  Keep up with your unique writing technique. Your work is a testament to your expressive skills and narrative brilliance! more »
