Notes About The Poem

In the write below i confront the reports that are multiplying about treatment of Helpless prisonors in isreali jails In disregard of Geneva conventions And any measure of human morals, I then later saw the reports of people in the Gaza relief flotilla ( who never even got put in a jail proper.') What am i to assess Overall ? I am disgusted and appalled.' Addendum I see no reactiion from king chaz, or his boys I note many high profile absentees to this dire Situation.' Now why could that be.? Its not like There would ever be a conspiring.' Is it.?

Some dogs of hell '

Deep in Isreals prisons so drear, there is such abaesment, it brings me to tears.'
Accounts of men, violated by dogs maybe
Also women.? And the guards? Are they 
human or just filthy hogs.? I'd heard such
Horror stories was it last year.? I dismissed
Such as miss-information.' Yet now more
Amplification reaches my ears, some idf
Thugs have broken.. Under the  pressure  and strain, they corroberate victim statements
There are medical reports..All seems insane.' Once I was in deep sympathy with
That Isreali state as a whole.' Now i am
Sickened and dissmissive, at these most
Shamefull acts that have stole, humam faith and dignity, i wish it were not so.' 
I have now no choice, but to turn around to leave
Such sick; sick acts, now force me (so to do !)

Joseph P. DiMino June 22, 2026 at 9:30 AM Once you have seen great atrocity up-close, women and men who have been brutally raped and murdered, sex organs amputated from restrained, wide awake screaming victims, babies thrown live in fires, one never forgets such horrible images. I do not know what these prison guards have seen or not seen. Had I witnessed such things firsthand it would be difficult for me to regard the perpetrators as yet human. A credit to those guards who can control themselves. I don't judge.

Its such retrograde actions by Those who consider they are 'still Gods chosen people' this is where a lot of trouble springs from..I have lived a type of this its Bad it gives you an exagerated idea of your own worth and Destroys your own sense of reality, in this Mindset you can do some real damage.' The only true Isrealites are those born of the Spirit.' I guess this is all part of bringing Isreal to their knees..The place You need to be in order to accept salvation.)

Karen Jones June 21, 2026 at 12:43 PM Oh Joe how awful have humans become to treat others in such a way! I can’t imagine how lowly morale has dropped to mistreat and cause such distress disrespect and harm. God is watching and I pray that the evil doers fear at least God! Your poem is important and stirring. Great job! Joe Maverick June 21, 2026 at 1:23 PM I must say i had a few bad nights Karen and that empty feeling in the morning when you hoped it was only false Dreams.' And the powerlesness..Dear God help me.' The accounts i heard were harrowing in the extreme, i have just removed words describing in detail what survivours are reporting..It must go out but i have too much respect to do it here..Karen yet after con-vid which is all tied Up with these wars and Control agendas i should not be shocked i suppose.? One thing anyone here can count Of is i will not ignore such .' All blessings to you, sometimes irs hardest being a coward when all is said and done thank you for your bravery.)))
