We must stop the genocide in Gaza. This poem reflects current news events in Gaza, where Israeli occupation forces blew a fetus from the belly of its mother, and snipers have shot clusters of kids, showing up at the hospital one day with shots to the face and the next day with shots to the groin.
Effacing Humanity
Arms and jaws fall
A fetus blown from the belly of its mother
Clusters of children each shot
In the face
Or groin
As a parent game
In humanity
Their just sum
Desperately trying
In artless hate
To get a head
Taking
It to the next level
A human race
Be human racer
See human racest
Dehumanize
Egad!
Effacing
Humanity
You may note that there is an alliterative progression in this poem of A, B, C, D, E, F…H. The “Gee” is missing; “Gee” is not enough.
