Best Israeli Poems
FOR LO, THE WINTER IS PAST
For Lo, the winter is past
The rains are gone
Glorious are you in the eyes of the sun
Your warmth binds me
The flush dawning world is ours

Tic Tac Toe
No Honour, No
Tic Tac Toe
No Result, No
Tic Tac Toe, two sides go to war
Tic Tac Toe, No win, No lose, No draw
would you just attack already?
just go & send all the nukes that you
claim that you don’t have
right
straight
into
Iran &
blow all their people to smithereens,
because that is what you want
because that is what you are going to eventually do
after you stop spinning propaganda &
stirring & stirring & stirring up more
lies in the American media to get people to
raise their fists in support of your
blowing the whole region up &
smashing the world into an infinite
whirlwind,
of which it may never recover from
once your big brother gets involved---
STOP
THE
****ING
BULL*****&
stop pretending like the American public is
****ing stupid,
like we need your smokescreens &
stop pretending like the Israeli public is
****ing stupid---
we know what you’re up to
it is written on the ****ing wall
it has been for a long time---
stop trying to scare the world into backing your
insanity.
Once a milky winged stallion,
I mistook you for an angel.
I believed your majestic prowess.
Like Zeus, I too hitched my chariot.
Once the sparkling points of night,
I mistook you for sky magic.
I believed immortal your cosmos,
your dazzling namesake array.
Then your avatar sold oil.
I watched your B movie at fumy gas pumps.
I witnessed the curse of your hydrocarbons.
I lost faith in your Earth poisoning moniker.
Then your appellation found home in the dirt.
Assigned by mercenaries feeding slithering snakes,
tracking and tracing, extracting all our privacy
for any perversion of power.
I weep now knowing how far you've fallen.
I should have known.
You were always the prodigious child of Medusa.
Here lie 840 Israeli soldiers
Each one defending his state
840 Israeli soldiers, knowing what might await
The ultimate sacrifice ~ their fellow Jews to liberate
the six executed
israeli youth hungry and bound
my heart weeps
Another democracy
where the people get to speak
has just had an election
A bitter, bruising battle
with accusations of
corruption and cowardice
have filled the air
I live in the good old USA
Where we are also
gearing up for a bruising battle
Democracy is messy
but it is better than totalitarianism
Who are you supporting - friends out there in the darkness?
Who do you want to win in Israel ??
It matters
Yes, it matters!
We move accordingly using
less air to breathe wandering
about the crued oils of dirt
grime corruption coated
with uncommon valor seen
by millions witnessed by
none we move in separate
lives coasting throughout
mental health relief desperate
an yet clothed with the
blood of everyone totally
exempt from taxation
missing broken overlooking
the rise of Jerusalem
Over To Score, .... Our Voice's Rise!
Israeli's .... Two, Our.... Strength And Might!
Another American Colony
poisoned with venom and hate
Consumed by the world’s great religions
apparently, this was its fate
The Palestine homeland was stolen
by the powerful in our world
They took it and gave it to others
named it Israel, a new flag unfurled
Then created a thing they call AIPAC
for the funneling of funds every year
Take American taxpayer dollars
with each bomb that is dropped, they all cheer
The Parties all do it together
Jews and gentiles sign-off on the funds
Together with makers of weapons
we all pay for the bullets and guns
America’s funding a genocide
our Senators and Reps have no shame
As the people pay all of the taxes
together we share all the blame
Netanyahu, a villain and killer
has a bank that’s called US of A
Anytime that he wants to kill Gazans
AIPAC’s ready with money to play
As for Schumer, he has in his pocket
Booker, Jeffries and Torres and more
It is why he keeps running for office
to keep Israel funded for war
Now the Trumps plan a new Riviera
by Republicans they will be led
With American taxpayer money
they will build it on all of the dead
