Shabbat Mourning

7th October, 2023. Israel.


“Shabbat Mourning” 

the War commenced 
with morning, rudely awakened,
unrest.

some say,
it has arrived, 
the biblical Apocalypse. 

some say,
not war, just another 
haggling loose rabble skirmish.

Hamas 
says,
“God is Great!”

Netanyahu 
says,
“we are at War!

And we will 
win 
this War!”

everything over
before begun;
Winter is coming

harsher than 
before

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)




“Our enemy will pay a price the type of which it has never known,” Netanyahu said in a video statement.
