The Story by Kamal Nasser translation by Michael R. Burch I will tell you a story ... a story that lived in the dreams of my people, a story that comes from the world of tents. It is a story inspired by hunger and embellished by dark nights of terror. It is the story of my country, a handful of refugees. Every twenty of them have a pound of flour between them and a few promises of relief ... gifts and parcels. It is the story of the suffering ones who stood waiting in line ten years, in hunger, in tears and agony, in hardship and yearning. It is a story of a people who were misled, who were thrown into the mazes of the years. And yet they stood defiant, disrobed yet united as they trudged from the light to their tents: the revolution of return into the world of darkness. Kamal Nasser was a much-admired Palestinian poet and Palestinian Christian, who due to his renowned integrity was known as "The Conscience." He was a member of Jordan's parliament in 1956. He was murdered in 1973 by an Israeli death squad whose most notorious member was future Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Barak (born Ehud Brog) later ruled as Israel’s tenth Prime Minister from 1999 to 2001. His adopted Hebrew name Barak means "lightning." As a younger man, Brog/Barak was a member of a secret assassination unit that liquidated Palestinians in Lebanon and the occupied territories. In the 1973 covert mission Operation Spring of Youth in Beirut, which was part of the larger Operation Wrath of God, he disguised himself as a woman in order to assassinate Palestinians. The raid resulted in the deaths of two women, one of them an elderly Italian. Two Lebanese policemen were also killed, along with the poet Kamal Nasser. Nasser was the PLO's most prominent Christian and he enjoyed "great appeal" in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq "both as a distinguished poet and likeable personality." He was the “conscience of the Palestinian revolution,” according to Nazih Abul-Nidal, who worked with him on the magazine Filastin al-Thawra. Nasser “had the most democratic outlook of all Palestinian leaders at the time,” he recalls. He respected opposing views, admired the commitment of young people, and was a major recruitment asset for the Palestinian revolution. “That is why he was put high on the hit-list.” The previous year, the Israelis had murdered another renowned Palestinian writer and activist in Beirut, Ghassan Kanafani, by booby-trapping his car. Nasser’s successor, Majed Abu Sharar, was also assassinated by Israelis, in Rome in 1981 while attending a conference in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

My friend took a picture of the President. She probably has assassinated the President, if cameras were guns. There are a lot of people taking selfies. There are probably a lot of people who died of suicide, if cameras were guns. There are a lot of people who take pictures at their most joyous moments. There are probably a lot of people who died at their most joyous moments, if cameras were guns. There are a lot of soldiers, innocent people, who died, are dying, and will die, at war. There are probably a lot of soldiers, innocent people, still alive, living, will live, if guns were cameras.

Always it does, But I can't shiver, Coldest in the river, Deathly river of tears, Excruciating is the pain, Filthy salty water it flows, Grandiose in society kills me, Hefty personal problems prey, I can't swallow so I don't eat any, ****** of ego I turn into since long, Killed me multiple times in a go daily, Lovelorn I die each moment I try to cry, Mouthful of unfriendly words help me die, Name of mine means incomparable literally, Ostensible concept of love entices me so much, Put me in a jail and stuff me behind the bars now, Quailing me is the loneliness that has been forever, Ruling out few occasions of company I stay so aloof, Sparing some days of happiness most are depressing, Toying with my own heart I feel my heart is hydrogen, Unattractive it is not & it could not stay segregated ever, Volumes of my voice have died out & so has my hearing, Wailing deep in my heart I let this sorrow seep in to sink, Xenophobic I ain't but of course I dislike enemies of love, Yucky thoughts of people assassinated my love last night, Zeroed in on the catalyst -strange enough- she herself is it.

The Cold Aura Surrounds Me
Welcome To Egypt You want to know what a military dictator ship is? Checkpoints at every crossing, police disrespecting the citizens, guns gripped tightly in the hands of teenagers, bleached white suits with fake brass stars. Welcome to Egypt. You want to know what becomes of fallen empires? Dusty streets of broken dreams and failed endeavors, uptight men in loose jellabiyas hawking Chinese made junk, descendants of kings catering to the whims of ignorant tourist, and a once pristine river now so ***** it’s dangerous to swim in. Welcome to Egypt. You want to know what irony is? Here denial is a double entendre, it’s a river and a state of mind, where the people can’t see they are biting, the very hand that feeds them. Welcome to Egypt. You want to know what it’s really like here? Well I was just harassed today, accused by the police of trying to pray, because in Egypt it is illegal to pray or even meditate, I had to threaten to call the US Embassy before I was allowed to go on my way. Welcome to Egypt. You want to know what the real atrocity is? The States gives this country over a billion dollars a year, but the people that really need the money don’t see a single pound, the money is used to further oppress the people, and anyone that tries to stand up for their rights is beaten down. Welcome to Egypt. You want to know what happened to democracy? The Muslim Brotherhood won the election, then the military staged a coup, kicked out the democratically elected government, and assassinated anyone that dared to speak the truth. Welcome to Egypt. You want to know what the real Egypt is about? Come witness the horror for yourself, mothers dying in doorways children eternally crying, horses beaten to death in 106˚ heat, then left for dead no burial for the dying. Welcome to Egypt. You want to know what equality is here? What equality woman have to cover everything up, wearing all black in a torturing heat, and if I man tries to hold a woman’s hand, then they both get rounded up by the Moral Police. Welcome to Egypt. You want to know how bad it really is? People die every day on boats trying to escape, desperately attempting to flee this god forsaken country, what a travesty and shame it all is, how poor this country’s become that was once so wealthy. Welcome to Egypt. You want to know the truth? The oppression is so bad in Egypt, that anyone that says anything about that, can disappear courtesy of the secret police, seriously it happened to my dear friends dad. Welcome to Egypt. You want to know what? Luckily I am not Egyptian, so I can escape this country that’s become a prison, leaving in a few hours and to anyone that’s considering a visit, I’m leaving behind this welcome warning here that I’ve written. Welcome to Egypt. ∆ Aaron La Lux ∆ The Holy Trilogy Vol. 1 available worldwide 11/11/16

From where they stood She was a juvenile who needed detention From where I stand, I see a lost child seeking attention From what they heard, Her words were harsh and threatening From what I hear, She didn’t mean for her words to harm, it was a clear case of misunderstanding From where they looked, They saw a girl who was overweight and wasn’t easy on the eye From where I look, I see beyond her flaws, a loving lady whose deepest feelings have been anesthetized with lies They said to her, You are a waste of space, you voice is too husky and you lack technique I wish I could say to her, No one else can give the world what you have to offer, your voice is different and your style is unique Now she feels she doesn’t have anything to live for, They had assassinated her mentally and she was going to help them physically She had carefully planned how she would execute her suicide She was headed for doom ‘cause her fate she let them decide Helplessly I watch from outside. Locked out and powerless to put a stop to this I watched her put the rope around her neck as I screamed and implored her not to. If only she could hear me, she might have had a chance to see through my eyes that life was hers to live and enjoy, that she had every right to be happy, that she could dare to be different and it was okay for her to dream big dreams even if they never materialized -r3d-

WHO WILL SAVE ‘HUMANITY’ FROM ITSELF? Ayad Gharbawi Come down, and celebrate with us all The beginning of a senseless ****** Where children sat awaiting Trying to Understand The necessity That you humans found in yourselves Was so necessary to enact Against the innocently impaled victim I guess, that no one Can ever Accept truths That for me and for you Were so different And yes, the medieval priest Did laugh gutturally In his drunken paradise Yes, that man you loved Was very sickening In his punishing self-imposed bleeding dictums And he can no longer talk Through his burning tongue That has been mercifully stabbed Just far too Many times.. Eternal laughter That tries to memorize the renaissance poetry Is a silly game That gets you somewhere Endless rows of frowning fools I tell you What did you learn from All those poetry you did memorize?

Save us, ye saviours! The crucified darlings Tearful you stand I pray for you to rise up and do revenge Against these sadistic monstrosities In my increasingly disorientating brain Christ!

It was the early 60’s where rock and roll was Taking over the land, and ELVIS was on tour with his band. Where rock and roll was stories being told And the teen life was starting to unfold. We had race riots in the southern states And black rights were up for debate. An era of KENNEDY and KING where peaceful Solutions they would try to bring. Both assassinated at a young age Because they tried to bring some change. An Era where gas was cheap and wages low And it cost fifty cents to see a show. A time of the CUBAN missile crisis and VIETNAM And protesters were taking a stand. Then this country was taken by storm And draft dodging became the norm. Although some of the 60’s was a living hell It gave me fond memories as well. Drive in theatres – not many to be found But one or two are still around. We’d be able to back in to the drive in theatre With a little luck- in our 53 pickup truck. The speakers attached to the window of the door The volume turned down very low And the windows were rolled up so no one would know Or- we would lie in the back of the truck With a blanket or two Depending on what we wanted to do. This was the 60’s that I recall where most Everyone had a ball.

controversial 60's
I was so proud Following Cupid The greatest Cherub Gifting all of mankind With the power of love Aiming the arrows Dipped in that emotion Where two fall together Giving their precious hearts To be with one another We never leave anyone out Be it man loving woman Man in love with man Woman falling for woman Need be, even man and sheep But I tried to stop war once Shooting arrows at Presidents Hoping two men of power Could bring the love of peace To a world deeply in need They had to assassinate them Put two more warmongers in charge So once again I tried Once more they were assassinated So I hung up my bow and arrow You see, never blame the Presidents Because they are only puppets On strings, led by power mad Generals Using war to make a profit But also preventing true love

510: A Fallen Cherub
Today, Hurricane Joaquin hammered the central bahamas with torrents that flooded foreclosed homes. The forecasters warned us of this. Same day, ten kids get assassinated by another one bringing torment to Oregon, no order found. The forecasters warned us of this. On that day, every monster forged a face as we all grieved, as is our nature, absorbing blows by no one's order. The forecasters warmed up to this.

The First Victim
Friends, you may recall the famous song by ‘Bonny M’ during late1970s, about the infamous RASPUTIN, advisor of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas-II, and lover of the Russian Queen, who was assassinated on 30th December, 1916: ‘’Ra, Ra Rasputin/Lover of the Russian Queen… Russia’s greatest love machine/ It was a shame how he carried on!..’’ Now once again he is reborn as VLADIMIR PUTIN, driving the World to the brink of a Third World War, and is likely to meet a similar fate, unless his cancer overtakes! This is a parody of that lyric I recently composed. – Raj Nandy, 07 May, 2022, New Delhi. +RUSSIAN RASPUTIN REBORN AS VLADIMIR PUTIN+ Ra, Ra, Vladimir Putin, with all his land-grabbing war machines, With ravenous hunger to swallow neighboring Countries, It is really shameful how he carries on! Oblivious to human suffering and pain, He has brought the World on the brink of another World War once again! Putin became the Russian President since 2012 as we get to see, Became a virtual dictator of his country! Divorced in Two Thousand and Fourteen, Lives as a frustrated bachelor in Russia ever since. People look at him with terror and dismay as he is full of aggression and fire! But to his henchmen and young Russian maids he is such a lovely dear! Ra, Ra, Vladimir Putin with his nuclear bombs and war machines, It is utterly shameful how he carries on! He changed his personal guards many a time afraid of assassination! Sacrificed his senior generals and countless soldiers in his ceaseless war of aggression, To glorify his personal ambition! Now to save Ukraine and the World, May the Devil soon come to claim its very own. {See photo) Ra, Ra, Vladimir Putin, with his many war machines, It is utterly shameful how he carries on! Oh! Those Ruthless Russians! …………………………………………………………………………..

I'm that boy who she wants as her toy, But alas, I am defective as I'm a man now & not a boy, So the kid got bored of trying to mould me. She got bored of listening to wise advice, Perhaps I was wrong on my part too in the end, So no use ensuing the blame-game now. I just accept it now, I was born defective, Accident just worsened me. But if you sit calmly and think of it, All the injury to my brain can heal, Not the injury to my heart under a veil. Broken, assaulted & assassinated, I am time & again due to my errors, I don't blame anyone for defects I made.

The Kennedy's
The words I spoke Painted soft hues in semicircles That formed veins in vain All the life the colors formed caused was pain And disdain for this thing called breath I would gladly welcome death In the form of the devil kissing necks Sharpening a dagger in geometric patterns Slicing through my brain matter with a splayed tongue Implanting THC in my frontal lobe with infinite precision showing me visions of misread Scriptures read by passive preachers and pastors not knowing the meanings of verses read backwards that sound like incantations for Satan Drop. Drip into my glass Cerulean liquid so vivid it defies description Even with these prescription lenses I can't tell the difference between what's okay to write but not say so today I think I'll take an AK to Pre K to educate the young with Guns JFK would smile Knowing I'm the last gunslinger and expander of minds destined to be assassinated for saying it before my time

God isn't God anymore
"You control our world. You’ve poisoned the air we breathe, contaminated the water we drink, and copyrighted the food we eat. We fight in your wars, die for your causes, and sacrifice our freedoms to protect you. You’ve liquidated our savings, destroyed our middle class, and used our tax dollars to bailout your unending greed. We are slaves to your corporations, zombies to your airwaves, servants to your decadence. You’ve stolen our elections, assassinated our leaders, and abolished our basic rights as human beings. You own our property, shipped away our jobs, and shredded our unions. You’ve profited off of disaster, destabilized our currencies, and raised our cost of living. You’ve monopolized our freedom, stripped away our education, and have almost extinguished our flame. We are hit… we are bleeding… but we ain’t got time to bleed. We will bring the giants to their knees and you will witness our revolution!" ~ Jesse Ventura

We Ain't Got Time To Bleed, All Poets Must Fight These Monsters!
But he could. It's a free country, Inside. And he'd say she was an over-rated actor, anyway. Rudolph could be on his nice list. I won't mention by name The ***** who assassinated Lennon, And neither should anyone else, Including Himself, But it could be his first State Secret. Of all the possible pardons possible, Hanssen deserves an immediate E.O. Whatever he espionaged to the Russians Was only what they overlooked as spam; A communist cookie. I don't even think an E.O could posthumously pardon Ford for pardoning Nixon. There's no excuse for that. He'll never pardon incarcerated terrorists, They're safer behind bars. Us too. *Pardon me, please, But you're stepping on my Peers.*
