Netanayahu's Amalek

Netanayahu's Amalek

A “love” poem for Israel

 

If we could but reach

out enormous arms like

wings that reach horizon’s

end and far farther beyond

all hurt and everywhere

 

embrace each single one

before the bare-naked bombs

before the stone-mad-missiles

before even the soul-less surgical sniper

 

if i could but hold back

all your wicked wrath with

bloody belief to break

its ice-sharp venom

 

if we all could be but another one

with or without tattoo or number

who with both arms wide could

endure each day’s desperate news

 

report then that here

where Autumn’s end

still will sing

no matter the hour

 

so sing now

 

like a soundless

choir composed

of all these dead

and silenced children

 

you

so coldly

murdered.
