Gaza Slave

Gaza Slave 

 The Gaza man looked stunned he carried two
Jute sacks that were bloodied and reminded of
Someone who had bought meat  
At the illegal slaughter market 
But it was worse than that he carried the remains 
Of his family after yet an onslaught by the Israeli 
Military machine mostly financed by the USA.  
Now the Gaza man had to sort out the remains 
And bury the right pieces.
If you asked an Israelite sitting on a hillside 
Enjoying the bombing eating something correct food and
Drinking beer he will look angrily at you and say
Israel has the right to defend itself 
And if that means the eradication of the Palestine’s as a people 
So be it. 
Israel to my sorrow has developed into a state that 
Has lost its humanity 
The Palestinians carry our forefathers’ anti-Semitic views 
As a heavy burden
