Gaza 2023

A tribute to the people of Palestine

With the strewn blood and bones

Of thousands born but

yesteryear

 

For slaughter at the Zionist altar

Lies bespattered the politic

Conscience of a world

Bought and sold by Wall Street.

Oh, the evil, unspeakable  evil of it.

 

Those that do not capitulate

To   the   brute  usurper,

With  Sam’s  license to kill,

Face  a holocaust fate.

Those that were persecuted

Persecute with  redoubled hate.

 

Honour  to the hoi polloi of the world

Who come out in  masses

Even in Tel a Viv,

To   protest  and to grieve.

 

 Woe to governments

Who count their  gain

And loss were they

To   stand  on two legs

Or  crawl  beneath Biden.

 

But, O Palestine,

Yet again I salute your spine,

Bolstered by unbending intellect,

That you   die in droves for justice

But never whine.

 

How many are the nations now

Oppressed who could take

A leaf from your book,

And  to  their tormentors say

 “we  too  will stand,   not bow.”
