“Executive Orders”

Global Rights - Human Rights

1

Their war will soon come

like rain falls for all of us

weary and hungry to be

free from fear

 

a war as subtle and endless

as a deluge in

a murderous monsoon

 

from small greedy steps

giant armies plague and poison

our soft-sweet planet.

 

2

The names and numbers of our dead,

we see, are now likewise superfluous,

swiftly cut-down and soon erased

 

uncountable, too, as if we had brought

to birth

only an excess of bone and brains

 

and always the rotting guts spread

like fertiliser, faceless and serene

on the Empire's brutal battlefields.

 

3

i still cannot shut my eyes at night

at the terror of it,

the ruthless noise of its wretched

awakenings, its crudity, its lies

 

and the smell of hypocrisy

that should sicken even the sadistic

stomachs of these naked emperors and

their mass murder-machines.

 

Enough said...

 

4

…for now we live in a time where

even the pen has been beaten into a sword,

and this paper is now digitally transformed

into more proclamations of mass destruction

 

and see, one last deadly plague descend,

as this fool, he wields his dumb ‘sharpie”

and a whole world will soon collapse under

an army of Orders

 

cities under siege by bureaucrats

and bombs, by bullies and buffoons

with their armada of armed threats

and false promises

 

and always, and everywhere

the silenced cry of their exterminated victims...

 

5

Such power...in

the hands of hoodlums!

 

as if these masked and demented delinquents,

these well-armed, well-dressed and dangerous thugs,

these crooks, criminals and con-men

had not accomplished or stolen enough

 

on their monotonous and marauding march

across the inhuman yet still faceless face

of our own bloody History.

IRAN OR MINNEAPOLIS?

ANOTHER ICE MURDER

Finally: Hope for the future?

Alternative “Executive Order”

Zohran Mamdani announces anti-ICE executive order

“If faith offers us the moral compass to stand alongside the stranger, government can provide the resources. Let us create a new expectation of city hall where power is wielded to love, to embrace, and to protect. We will stand with the stranger today, tomorrow, and all the days that are still to come.”

He comes through his whirlwind

of hate

like a force to be reckoned with.

 

His belt like a child-eating snake

curling its lip into the sneer

of power.

 

i run the length of our

collective poverty

to escape the blows

 

i hide beneath tables

that never ever saw

a book open

 

or a pen poised

or a clean sheet

of pure white paper. [Contd.].

...4

a man who will beat his children

with brutality

is just one more tyrant among many

 

like

this fascist

of the airwaves

 

the one who never managed to find

a refuge from the belt

or the snarling sneer and

 

so was

forced to become President

of All and Everything

 

and Nothing...[contd]

Naama Alaa Al-Din Hammad and her six children, both born and unborn, murdered by the Israeli “Defence” Forces, December 6, 2023

  Global Rights - Palestine 

Like a flower sifted through agony

one lone man sits and searches

for his lost hope

 

Abu Ismail Hammad.

 

This man, he moves mountains

as if their murderous “war” was

no more and no less the mirage of

a madman without a strait jacket

 

and for all the graveyards-of-rubble

he will move, here,

in the Sabra neighborhood, Gaza City,

Palestine

it still seems we are going nowhere. (Contd.)

 Abu Ismail Hammad

“GAZA CITY—For 200 days, Abu Ismail Hammad has been digging beneath his home in Gaza City, painstakingly collecting the remains of his wife and unborn child. He has been using a flour sifter to find their bone fragments hidden in the sand.

 His entire family was killed just under two months into Israel’s genocidal assault, when an airstrike hit their home in the Sabra neighborhood on December 6, 2023. His five children—Ismail, Mohammed, Ghaith, Jana, and Joudi—aged between eight to 16 years old, were all killed, along with his wife, Naama Alaa Al-Din Hammad. Naama was nine months pregnant with their sixth child, a girl they were planning to name Haifa, after her martyred aunt. His brother, sister-in-law and all of their children were also killed.”

…and for the Kurdish people in Rojava, Occupied Kurdistan

.../for the Palestinian people in Occupied Palestine

and for those resisting, under paramilitary siege, in the Occupied Cities of the U.S.

“Our choice is clear; victory or victory.”

YPJ Commander Raya Mihemed (Hasakah, Rojava):

 1

Me? i’ve fought this radio to a homicidal truce

where it hides beneath its bunker of books,

the ones i’ve torn pages from,

instead of letting them argue their lies to

my illiterate children, down all these years

living as a slave.

 

i’ve fought the ghosts of enemies

i misunderstood in their sentry posts

on the walls of Immorality

and so they bombed my shelters,

slaughtered my dreams,

imprisoned every single one of my

demands in dungeons and despair

 

and all my wretched howling was

to no avail.

 

Now i am an old man in the midst

of endless war.

My stomach hurts,

my bones ache, my eyes

bleed daily

with the countless casualties

inflicted on us

for believing in a better world.

 

And still it rains here,

constantly.

 

2

All this water must soon

swiftly flee

to find its way from

the river to the sea

 

and bring with it both

the bodies of the dead,

slaughtered for spite and

the butchers’ greed

as well as these lies that tell me

“thank you for your attention”

…as if this will always be the way

things are…

 

Fuck all that.

 

3

i am, an old man with a grudge.

i am an old man with a grudge i

am proud of.

 

i’ve slept in doorways

cursing the rain.

i’ve bitten the hand that

refused to feed me.

By now, my enemies should

have all died before me

just so i could dance

on their graves,

this pathetic dance of the

drunkard i longed to be

and even failed, too frequently

at that task.

 

4

But now i look all around me

and all i see are these humanless humanoids,

these brainless brutes with their bankroll

as big as their toothless mouths

with their vicious brains and their fucking bombs

their militias, presidents, spies,

their assassins, warships, artillery and airbases

and always, always, their greedy twisted tongues

telling me to bow and scrape and serve

to this servile religion of slavery and servitude

 

and i know today for sure

what i was told as a child

 

Oh, let this “sleeping beast” sleep

“for if it wakes it will shake

the whole wide world”.

 

5

And so i surely know

this “sleeping beast”

must be the human heart,

this one right here being

torn in two

 

and no motherfucking shiteating

murdering fascist

in all the thieves’ dens

in all the bars and brothels of a world

already sold to these bankers

and billionaires

 

will

stop

it…

 

not all the “sick beings” in

their broken world

can stop our insurgent and

uprising war.

 

6

So, please, go search,

go out and search

for Her,

i tell you now

 

this heart,

this human heart,

insubordinate,

seditious,

subversive

 

insurrected!

One of the many videos of the murder of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse, shot dead by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis ...

...and Rojava, NE Syria

 

 Prof. Dr. Sandro Mezzadra (University of Bologna, Italy):

“I am following with anger and anxiety the military attacks on the multi-ethnic and democratic self-administration of the Rojava Revolution. Since 2012, the name Rojava has mobilized people in and beyond the region, opening up new horizons for a revolutionary politics of liberation. To stand up and defend Rojava is a duty for anybody committed to freedom and equality. In an age of war and genocide, struggling for Rojava means struggling for a different world, built upon the ecological, feminist, and democratic principles that the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria has turned into a lived reality over the last years. Biji Rojava…” [23, january, 2026]
