Towards the Writing of a
History of the Persecuted
“This is a belief system that is genocidal at its core and treasonous to the wonder and beauty of this world.” Naomi Klein/Astra Taylor
DAY ONE
Day One: you wake in the womb only
to realise your destination
was destroyed – pogroms ago - by the dumb
acquiescence of the fearful and the ferocious greed
of the greedy
THE INTERLUDE
sad angels still whisper in your ear
you will wake in the womb only to realise
your destination was destroyed
by American, German, British, Italian & Indian weapons
by Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II stealth killer fighter planes
by other stealth aircraft and British “reconnaissance” flights
by their costly missile defense programs
their Iron Dome, Arrow, and David's Sling systems
by Iron Dome air-defense missiles, small-diameter bombs
JDAM kits (“which convert unguided bombs into GPS-guided weapons”)
by “advanced weaponry such as CH-53 heavy-lift helicopters”
by KC-46 aerial refueling tankers
by laser-guided missiles for the Apache gunship fleet
by 155mm shells, night-vision devices, bunker-buster munitions
by shiny-new army vehicles
by the costly “components of air defense systems and communication equipment”
by thousands and thousands of portable anti-tank weapons
by almost a million (or more) rounds of ammunition for automatic or semi-automatic firearms
by even more helicopters and naval artillery
by the much-needed components for the F-35 child-killing-combat aircraft
by countless bombs, killer-torpedoes, ruthless-rockets, other explosive devices and charges
by related equipment and accessories (useful to maim, murder, burn,
bury-alive, imprison, disappear, rape and torture)
and don’t forget the Hyderabad-made Hermes “Killer” 900 drones
nor the tonnes of rocket engines, the extra tonnes of rockets
with explosive charges
thousands of kilos of cold-blooded explosive substances
thousands of pounds of charges and propellants for cannons
and more…and more… much more.
All soulless-malevolent-malicious-mean
pitiless and
remorseless..." (Contd.)
