Operation Cast Lead

Operation Cast Lead 2008 December 31, 2008

The new year is emering… but it is only the same of the old…
Why is there a need to celebrate… to jig… how can the world jig…

How can I be a part of the Dionysian…?? How can I be part of this urban decay
Gaza City is in in teras… blood, ruble, more blood… shrapnel… more crys..

Are we not all complicit… how does our silence contribute to this

The world leaders are timid… to express the reality of this apartheid state

When will the bombs stop… when will the IDF stop killing innocent civilians..?
When will state leaders be cognizant of this atrocity…?


How will the Gazana recognize their dead…?? How will the Palestinians count their dead..?? How will the families bury theie dead…?? How will they clear the dead from the urban rubble…??

Is the force used proportional …?? Let us count the ways… let us measure the destruction… let us count the dead:

Over four hundred palestians; four Israeilis; over fifteen hunded wounded palestianins; over a dooozen wounded. Is this proportional? F-16s, special tanks, cluster bombs;
Quassam rockets… the media reports over two hundred launced…. Are there more than four Israeli casualties…???

How does one value life…??

I am not a poet… I am a consumer who must conform to the Western Capitalist ideals…
And remain silent like a key hole… waiting for the key to open the aperture…
Much like a Merkava releases its load on Khan Yonis

No, I am not a poet, but I am theo-democrat who must accept the Democratic gods and
The principles of peace, freedom and remain like a key hole: waiting, silent for the golden key to unlock pandora’s box like the Negev releases its load on Jibaliya.

i am not a poet… yet I am a Christian fundamentalist who must conform to the Christian precepts : our god is great and remain silent about the greatness of this god, waiting like a key hole to be locked just like F-16Is lock onto their villages: Kuba, Wahsh, Nazla; and maintain the secrets of this great god…

I am not a poet, conversely I am a communist who must conform to the ideal of a classless society: eliminate the modes of production, labour and the the bourgeois: waiting like a key hole to be disengaged by marx, engels and Sartre… as AH-64D Apache Longbow engage their targets at Rafah
