Poem For Gaza
Scared, Strangled, Bandaged.
Go prey while they sleep and add to their plight
Their face scrapes and skin scars are our divine right
Let tanks and guns wail to silence their dreaming
Throw them over the walls no heed of their screaming
Loud rackets they’ll fear, into tombs we’ve laid bare
They’re roofs all cave in to make graves we don’t care
A scar strangled bandage for those we enslave
With a fist made of iron we’re the nation of knave
Keep them in darkness corral them like sheep
Then when on their knees we’ll make them creep
Impale them with thorns wild briars but not roses
And rightfully bow before a door as it closes
As it latches the beam no more daylight to gleam
No stories reflected by our media supreme
It’s a scar-strangled bandage ruled o’er by a knave
In the land of the flea and the home of the slave
There in the hand is the sword that will gore
A house whitely dressed in a state that’s a *****
Their love of unrest and world strife confusion
Where a flood could not rid a red stained profusion
Nor deluge conceal your brand native, “deprave"
Or erase from the mirror their doom [your behave]
You scar-strangled bandage in the land of the knave
In the land of the flea and home of the slave.
But for us who can never, lift up our hands
Yet we cry for our places despite reprimands
Or roam on our lands without hesitation
Raise up the hour that will end our damnation
Churn up the dust because our war is a must
Life's not a lotto in a worlds that’s unjust
Scar-strangled bandage we’ll burn at your grave
In the land of the flea and home of the slave.
Ps.
Only those holding empathy
glasses have tasted the pain.
