Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

Happy Easter

 Happy Easter 

I guess crucifying one Palestina wasn't enough
rejoice and celebrate
paint all your Easter eggs red with blood
call the victims evil and please please please
send more bombs to kill more children
or maybe just be quiet
and pretend you care
rejoice to the heavens
there is more blood in Gaza today
than water

Robert Gorelick April 25, 2025 at 11:59 AM I have great fear that Gaza is going to be the first holocaust of the 21st Century, Vasso. We turned a blind eye to the Armenians and didn't believe it. The late Pope constantly critized the atrocities and yet the world barely heard or cared. Yours words are taken to heart.

Duke Beaufort April 21, 2025 at 2:55 PM Arthur, you are a saint for keeping this in people's sight. There's no shortage of suffering in Gaza. What we're seeing makes me think religion is a joke. I'm not sure how people can rationalize killing with their religious beliefs. It's all incredible and does not bode well for humanity.
