Poem: Land of the Blind

 

Land of the Blind

 

harsh and unkempt,

greasy smacking curses

leap from my mouth

to catch fire.

 

i discouse on ogres

who cannibalize each other

to become cyclopses,

chewing down onion-fat eyes.

 

that’s all there is, i proclaim,

gluttons made of cars, buildings and crowds,

who gobble as one

in singular blindness.

 

what if god

shined a spotlight on the spectacle,

captured the fierce greed

in so many gutted stares--

 

all that blood,

suddenly not so hidden,

trickles that drip down

off all those benighted chins?

 

 

 

========================

The demagogue in Israel, Netanyahu, has ordered the removal of the Palestinians from Gaza, in accordance with the decree of the fascist dictator in America, Trump.   And so, ethnic cleansing and genocide are back, initiated on the global stage by Jews, who were victims of ethnic cleansing under the reign of the Nazis, and also by the USA, which helped defeat the Nazis during World War II.

Vast Evil has come around again, to threaten humanity, and the USA  and Israel are sinking in its muck.  

If there is a God, I believe that God gave the USA one last chance, under Joe Biden.  God said, "Here is Netanyahu, committig genocide and ethnic cleansing.  What will you do about it, Joe Biden?"  And Biden said to God, "I will supply the weapons for the genocide and ethnic cleansing."  And God replied, "Then you are no better than Trump, and you have damned your country to decline."  Joe Biden protested, "But I am better than Trump."  And God said, "I would have given the USA another chance, if only you had simply said that ethnic cleansing and genocide were wrong.  Instead, you commited them."
