I have always admired the Torah and Old Testament perpetual reminders of “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage,” and the precept, “You shall not oppress a stranger nor torment him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.” Of course, it should not be lost that these precepts are revered by Jews, Christians, and Muslims — the “People of The Book.” In practice though, xenophobia and hatred of “others” infects every religious and secular culture. The modern state of Israel, as apart from Judaism, as a Zionist project, is a colossal failure to adhere to such sacred scripture. This poem goes owed testament on this madder.
Oh Israel, Unequivocally State Fallowed Script Her
What does God demand?
Having brought you out from Egypt
Out of the hows of bondage
You shall not oppress a stranger or torment him
For you were sojourners in the land of Egypt
What were they thinking?
Blood
Let my people
No
Slinging mud
With no straw
Palestinian men
With no soles
Standing up
To Israel
Fare oh Israel
Manifestly Moses down
Turning bricks to dust
Water wee too due
Never fueled
Bye their lies
Food once, food twice
Then axed
What sup
Serving up shit for endless daze
As posed to the lored
Those unrivaled versus
Having brought up and out
Now heralding
You’re history
Lost
For 40 years
A mirror pre-amble
For a Palestinian Jew
An impassability
No way
Yahweh
In the can
A great religion
Now unequivocally state
Return to Egypt
Threw Palestine
Byway of might
As well
Be hell
And sum how
Torah new as hole
Wear truth is barred
As a nation cratering
Putting to wrest
What ever
Remains
