The Bible A Melodrama?
The Bible became a melodrama
Netanjahu, a defaulter,
due to his debt to Palestinians,
Now that David has taken the gun,
To defend the country,
Who will play the harp?
Who will comfort Saul?
Jerusalem has been long conquered.
Now the Jewish eyes are set upon Gaza,
And the West Bank.
And offshore assets with promises of oil.
Children are slain by the hundreds
By cruise missiles and artillery fire.
Children, women, old men die.
The Jews cite from antique scriptures,
Insisting their doings are just,
And they are the true believers.
The troubadour has borrowed Putin’s refrain:
‘To take Gaza, like Crimea,
Because it belongs to us.
Our birthright.’
But this Orpheus` voice
In drowned by the screams
Of F-16s, shells, missiles;
Out to smash the Hamas underground hideouts.
Trees, shrubs, groves, stones,
Concrete blocks are blasted.
Unholy Vows
Both Hamas and Zionists have vowed
To destroy each other.
Both didn’t ask their people.
Airstrikes have killed thousands of Gazans.
The houses in Gaza have no bomb-shelters
There have nowhere to go.
The Hamas are crying others to join
And make a bigger war out of it.
Is resistance, armed struggle, the only option?
The refrain of the Palestinians remains:
“We have nothing to lose,
Except an entire generation of children and mothers.
Children Are The Hopes Of A Country
Stop killing the children and women.
In this butchery of genocide and murders
Propagandists have arrogantly made use of re-framing
To put the blame on the Hamas.
Over 12,000 in 11 years Syria.
Another 3,700 in Yemen.
In Ukraine alone520 children died in 21 months.
In the last two years 16,000 Palestinians
Have been killed.
Two thirds of whom are women and children,
And more than 40,000 have been injured.
Clare Daly speaks of wholesale killing.
It is unmitigated genocide perpetrated
By the Israeli war machine backed by the USA.
160 children slaughtered per day.
