KILLER GRAVES, TWO OF MANY
- Menachem Begin,
- raw bloody meat he ate
- on the altar of the pagan
- at Deir Yassin,
- the colour red and the smell of blood
- on the assassins.
- The road out of Palestine forlorn
- with the foetus
- of the Palestinian still-born.
- Irgun Zvai Leumi the slasher,
- ethnic cleansing
- screaming through his
- rotten knashers.
- Then before he died
- some remembered those terrible deeds
- and cried.
- Fury drove him beneath the earth
- where he lies thinking
- of his personal history’s dearth.
- Ariel Sharon, with Sabra and Shatila,
- he acted strong.
- Defence minister for the IDF
- he sure had
- a killer-fest.
- 16-18, September, `82
- 3,000 Palestinians died
- in these West Beirut human zoos.
- The Christian Phalange
- did his dirty deeds.
- Their garden of remembrance
- now grows weeds.
- Then an involuntary rest
- for eight long years,
- unconscious, bedridden
- but never near that sea of salty tears.
- Afterwards, the depths of holy ground
- while other gods look on
- and frown.

TRUMP AND THE SYNAGOGUE KILLINGS
- `It’s a terrible terrible thing that’s happening
- with hate with our country.’
- (Splintered words hewed with carpentry
- and to our intelligence an effrontery)
- `The results are devastating.
- They had a maniac walk in
- and they had no protection.’
- (Ingratiating
- that stone without sin?
- Throw it just a fraction)
- `If they had some sort of protection
- within the temple
- maybe this would have been
- a very different situation.’
- (Assassination by drone for example,
- the US overseas perpetual crime scene
- with national ego inflation?)
- `To see what is happening again
- and again and again is just
- a shame.’
- (Won’t stop.
- Won’t take the blame)
- `The world is a violent world.
- He is a madman and a wacko.’
- (The Stars and Stripes unfurled.
- Echo Echo Echo)
