Unwanted

Unwanted I was walking in the forest but not feeling well my stomach was extended hadn`t been able to evacuate for days, when suddenly it was time. Sat under a tree it was painful yet successful, got up turned around and there on the ground a perfectly formed baby made entirely of a waste product like a bronze statue of a new- born baby, and I had seen this being before, a grotto in Athens of baby Jesus in his crib, he had opened his eyes grinned like Satan and several nuns fainted My baby suddenly opened its eyes too I fled, what else could I do. take this piece of contamination and hug it to my chest? But I had to go back only to see if I had been wrong the olives trees were gone as had goats I called the land Israel, it has tall buildings that ooze of hatred of those who know they are wrong.

Your mind does not tread lightly. This is a strong piece and yet politically ambiguous, not so much transparent or polemical to me, which is an unusual and unsettling combination, surprising.
