Egypt With 600 Dead
by scott from jail |
In Haaretz I clock the doubt, Beleagueredness of the Israeli Left Stealing with Good Intentions That which is not theirs Nodding their heads in protest, Starry-eyed anger Like the fretting actors in a play Of sound, fury, lights out, A cab ride home - In the Jerusalem Post I read The missives of Caroline Glick Proud fascist And cute spokesman Lining facts, opinions Well-argued, not hateful Deliberately missing the point: Cruelty is the point. Revulsion is the point. In neither do I find much about The 600 dead in Egypt Sure to bloom to more As blood always does Roses in the street, Small dainties to the Left, the Right, The Way Things Are, A scream, call, a fall hard Today Mubarek, Yesterday Tunisia, Perhaps tomorrow a Syria, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Palestinian Authority, Jordan - Israel will miss Mubarek and his 600 dead. Miss them terribly. ~ Copyright © 2010 - scott from jail Published: 2/17/11 · Author's Page · Next Poem |
