The Palestinian Problem
Or, even as Gaza is being bombed again, like some Polish ghetto
to, when and no matter how frightening,
abandon that civilized ruth --
(useful obviously not whatsoever)
and see their Solution in all of its truth;
to see in all the reporting how they invent,
slightly rephrased the same and I quote
Problem end quote ever brought;
to it all the World taught responses, wrong, right;
now tricked and now treated this manufactured consent
will rest assured soon again have this horror be wrought;
observe before you react.
sometimes you will be called
(coarse, too biased, or slight)
but stand up and witness, think, plan, and act
tell what you know
teach how to speak truth — not to fight —
how by paying closest attention —
how by citing your sources —
how it is Truth may be made to come into the light:
the overweening pride, the sheer vengeance, the power
of a people let it please not repent me are mine
of Zion, a cancerous ill:
the horror
of a father's cries in Palestine
if his child
this final
Solution
will kill.
