The Past’s Burden

Holocaust, this tragic word, millions of life lost
in its name, and it has not ended. This time it is
the Palestinians who are victims of a people who
has learned only one lesson, to survive one has to
be a shit and be able to tell lies and cynically play
on Europe’s common guilt. Hitler wasn’t able to
remove the Jews, we, the Christian, wouldn’t
let him. The people of Israel, who has taken upon
themselves to emulate their former tormentors,
will not be able to eradicate the Palestinians, we,
the despised and cowardly Christians, will not let
them. The brutal disregard the Jews show against
their Semitic brothers, borders to self hate; it will
corrupt them, they will sink into nihilism. Dust upon
dust the story could have been so different hadn’t
they decided that kindness was a hindrance when
creating their tribal paradise.

Tanka (The Power)


Foreign politicians
Used to travel to US
To seek approval
Now they go to Jerusalem
To get the endorsement.


Tanka (humility)

Americans too
Running for president
Must go to Haifa
Eat bitter oranges
And extol their sweetness
