POEM: End the Israeli Occupation — Owed to the Palestinian People

The Israeli occupation must end. The latest in generations-long human rights violations and obstinate abrogation of international law must end. Cutting of water, food, electricity and fuel to an entire population, mostly civilians, of course, is a moral horror. No matter what President Biden and the host of American politicians say, there is no soapbox big enough to sanitize the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by Israel.

End the Israeli Occupation: Owed to the Palestinian People

The military occupation
As far as won seize
Settler colonialism
Doing what won kin do
As apartheid ebbs and flows
With blood and lost souls
Of generations passed
Their security state’s
Humane lessen
Unbefitting a zookeeper or racist’s pet
The largest prison on the plan it
Open heir
A grave inheritance
The refugee camp is the bomb
Pick your genocide
How do democracies round
This flattened whirled
Axing questions
Like what grows
Without water
Without food
Without power
What due now
And however scarred we maybe
We no
