Buildings Fall…but they were pushed
a note to the “assassins”
of the Israeli ‘Defence’
Forces
1
Buildings may fall but
they were pushed.
Flowers refuse to grow
in shredded bone
and dust.
Bare hands don’t break
bread when they
are buried deep in dark
earth.
So tell me, when, when, will all this killing
stop?
2
Autumn wind will soon
strip soft
flesh for feeding
as hunger now walks
even without legs
and yet so-many must sit
and somehow survive
while the monstrous
bombs
still fall
fall and savage soft flesh for feeding. (...Continued)

And all this and more
and still to be
called “anti-Semite”!
“People call us baby killers,
but you know what?
They're not wrong and we
should not be ashamed of it.”
(משה מרדכי לוי - Moshe Mordechai Levi,
from the 84th
Givati Brigade, Gaza)
all this and more as the
cold-blooded-killers
creep closer
and the wind camouflages
our voices
- in contradiction
“I’m proud to be one because this is what HaShem
ordered. To kill the Amalek, that includes men, women,
baby, animals and even their trees.”
(Moshe Mordechai Levi, 84th Givati Brigade, Gaza-Genocide).
Still, tell me, Moses,
if and when, when, your killing will ever stop?..

#Make #thewrittenword
a #subversive activity in an age of Resurgent #Fascism. Finally: Hope for the future? "On a human level, I fully understand the criticism voiced by some Palestinian writers regarding the ineffectiveness of poetic language when faced with the horrific power of weaponry, the impunity enjoyed by the killers within the IDF—as well as their government and those who direct them—and the unprecedented complicity, whether active or passive, shown by much of the world in the face of the suffering and extermination of an entire people. In this context, poetry might appear to be a luxury or an act of hypocrisy. Yet, I continue to believe that poetry—and artistic expression in general—is a powerful weapon; it speaks to the heart as well as the mind, setting the possibility of beauty against the monstrosity of injustice and war waged against the defenseless and children. Admittedly, the dormant consciences of the West are difficult to rouse or penetrate, but however challenging it may be, poetry acts as a tool—a kind of crowbar—capable of prying open and dismantling indifference. After every winter, spring arrives. Provided we do not stop believing in it, and provided we do not give up." (Sergio Segio - 3/11/2026)
