Ryan O'Leary Dec 2023
Since one week, I have

      elected to eat but a

  solitary meal a day until

   people of Gaza have 3.

  

    I have weighed in, my

      commitment will be

      evident (is) already,

       (hunger honed us)

Caged               Birds               Flew


     They’re perches were broken

        They’re trees were felled

      They’re freedom was stolen

       They’re food was rationed

      They’re calls were silenced

       But they’re plumes quilled

       choreography on the wind.

Global Warming
Ryan O'Leary Dec 2023
Since the crusades, the west

has never ceased in its quest

to subdue and destroy Arab

influence in the world. After

successive centuries of war

colonisation and exploitation

the concept of a loyal Ulster

in the Proche Orient became

a reality with the agreement

with Balfour and Rotschilds.

Israel was born, pulled out

of the magicians hat in full

view of the world. It was to

become an Anglo American

bulwark strategically situated

with coastal port access for

easy access to deliver the

arsenal necessary for USA

to store for future conflicts.

The plan failed, Arab began

to train and organise forces

using guerrilla tactics which

The Hamas leader is quoted

as saying that The Irish never

conceded, nor will we. So, as

the military option will never

work, the west has invented

Global Warming as a means

to shut down the Arab World.

The opiated masses of MSM

have taken on this fabricated

fictitious farce as fact. Don’t

be duped like you were with

covid and the other fairytales.

Etymology

I am keen to discover evolution

and origins words. Gaza is one.

I drew it on a balloon and then

decided to inflate it so I pumped

air from my lungs through the

narrow tunnel and watched it

in the mirror as their land mass

increased. It was such a joy to

see especially as it was at their

greedy evil neighbours expense.

Smithereens is the next word I

needed to look up after a needle

pricked the expansion exercise.

Now I need to find the semantic

of Ethnology to understand the

significance and consequence

of having a thorn on one's side.

    Raised in the captivity of a caged
    compound with siblings Ivan Zeus
    and sister Maya, they shared with
    tigers, elephants, giraffes, camels,
    horses and bisons in very cramped
    conditions, poor hygiene ill treated,
    badly nourished without any freedom.

    The circus had been in existence for
    almost seventy years in which time
    people from all over the world were
    aware of the conditions and abuse
    by the handlers but nobody voiced
    their opposition or expressed their
    desire to prosecute the managers.

    At a secret meeting by all those
    within the perimeter fence they
    decided that they’re humiliation
    had to stop. But how? How could
    they do this as all previous pleas
    petitions and attempts had failed,
    besides, they were outnumbered.

    Maya suggested a plan which was
    to include an elephant giraffe lookout
    and volunteer. It would be a life risking
    gamble. Her brother agreed, the fence
    was stormed, Kimba roamed the streets
    bringing media attention to their plight,
    before being brought back to his Gaza.
