they shoot horses too

They shoot horses too The US president tells Israel not to enter Gaza Israel enters anyway, which tells us the might  of the Jewish lobby trumps everything, leaving the US, looking weak The students, who are not, yet, corrupted  protest against Israel, arrested and jailed and worst college teacher spies on the students  report to the CIA. When the whole of the Western world is unable to stop the genocide in Gaza, one can be tempted to throw in the towel and befriend the devil  and do as the three monkeys I can go on and protest forever, which is good  for my consciousness and be used to be called an anti-Semite, taking this into consideration  anti-Semite might turn out to be a compliment

Hello Jan, What a powerful poem tackling a complex issue. The title's reference is thought-provoking, highlighting the disregarded suffering. The lines about the US and student protests paint a stark picture - ignored pleas and betrayal. The "befriend the devil" dilemma feels heavy, the frustration palpable. I loved how the ending line is a strong, bitter twist, leaving a lasting impression. - Blessings, Daniel
