no excuse ... no acceptable excuse

no excuse ... no acceptable excuse

is this what we have become ?

THERE ARE NO EXCUSES !





no excuse ... no acceptable excuse

seven hundred fifty thousand
they were
whether fled or expelled
this was their home
palestine 

state of israel
a zionist creation
from the lands
from the homes
of those muslim

al-Nakba 
or catastrophe
was formed upon 
stolen lands
of palestine

pissing contest
between extremists

zionist state
forced compliance
destroying towns
destroying homes
destroying lives
palestinian

first fenced 
then 
walled 
peoples of gaza
became prisoners
in their own
lands

every move under 
watchful eye
Israel decides
everything everyone
under 
zionist rule

homes destroyed
businesses closed
not unlike 
nazi germany

killing many 
by rule of law
fathers brothers
sisters mothers
kids

all killed by 
Israeli aggressions
by palestinian 
revenge

palestinians
ambushed 
held prisoner
killed
israeli soldiers

no mercy
no respect
palestinians
killed ambushed 
killed again

morphed once
morphed twice
morphed
again and again
escalating savagery

again and again

fathers brothers
sisters mothers
kids dead
all victims of insanities

a war of oppression
a war of hate
a war of revenge

racist 
religious battle
of stubborn 
unrelenting
unapologetic
hatreds

travesty 
smoldering
thru all days
gaza

the holy lands 
of 
two religions
responsible

neither holding 
ownership
of the
better god?

neither wants 
neither demands
peace

a war 
no end
a war
of forever

no acceptable excuse

this is what we
have become
NO
this is what
we have
ALWAYS BEEN !


think peace
be peace
