A
bird
That has eaten
Soars!
In Gaza
No bird
Has flown!
1.5 million:
Incarcerated;
Human stateliness:
Desecrated!
It's Nakba
Not Nafta;
It's Nakblinka
Not Treblinka!
!
From corporatism
To imperialism:
It's a collage of gulags
Bantustans
Afghanistans
Iraqs!
It's
xenophobism:
The metabolism
To corporatism
Bridged by munitions
Unabridged by renditions!
The Face of DU
Amidst our sacrosanct lies
Behold!
The child of innocence
Comes born
With no eyes!
Ghoulish tumors
Genetic sores
Patenting deaths . . .
It's the DNA
Of our War on Terror
The cherubic wreaths
To our lethal armor!
It's humanity that's
dead
As we continue to be led
By the reluctant progress
Of God’s egress!
God hasn't defected
Is merely splinted
In the one-way access
To our political abscess!
Alas!
The bird flutters
As the UN utters
Another veto!
The bird died
Of DU
As we congressionally lied
About what we knew!
