i lost my leg in April 8  yah know ,
my life ended that day ,so long ago ,
a waif is like the void .stark by 40,
like my half leg fate knocked me for a blow,
the knife bloodied like fate is my history.
I started the McGill pro Palestine storm,
Inveighing over Israel help I gripe.
Shani charged me of anti Semitism.
Protesting Israel genocide ,no hype  .
And butcher  ties to Israel  ,I warn.

Flak is a winter storm ,to Israel- I say,
We had twenty tents set up initially .
Amenities for all protestors too,
They increased to one hundred tents  surely .
The police  called to stop the event anyway.
