Best Semitic Poems
‘What good´s permitting some prophet of doom? To wipe every smile away …’
The orator grins at his drunken audience through make up and mask
Opens the cabaret’s veil in the theatre of forsaken minds on the run
Champagne flows from magic fountains while Berlin falters from grace
The wild thirties dance to an apocalyptic sound of paralized conscience
Outside the toothbrush moustache commandeers Svastika’s march
Torches set light to mislead passion and houses of semitic prayer
Crystal breaks as brown shirts parade their poisonous conquest
Heil to the savage Führer when ‘reality is something to rise above’
Pirouettes swirl on stilettos while boots squash compassion and lives
Caviar evades judeo-bolshevik scapegoats and trains to the camps
Blond blue-eyed conception born to inhabit Lebensraum on the map
Feeds into industrialist’s dream of war effort and armoured production
The white flag of surrender stuck into skull bones and belligerent stride
No meaningful rise of resistance only raised arms and ‘following orders’
When God capitulated and sang his swan song to the sound of hell fire
And prophets of doom cashed in on gas chambers and golden teeth
It’s easy in hindsight to lift the pen from an immaculate ink-pot of courage
But where would I have been when ashes in Auschwitz were ascending
When evil tore into the last bit of humanity in a vile coup of disgrace
As I look into the mirror of history I reflect on the cowardice in my soul

Our Neighbours.
In the darkness of the Ramallah night there is a light
An ember of hope, as the world is lowly and begins
To see that suffering is not one sided.
There is fear on both sides of the eyesore walls one
For losing what they have acquired, the other for losing
The little they have left. The victors are sensing they are
Prisoners too and might be on the wrongs side of
The walls as they sink into the ennui of misplaced hubris
Semitic people they are both Moslems, Christians, and
Jews, not fundamentalist in the rising tide of intolerance
Both sides in the world of chaos can find common ground,
They share the same culture, relatives lost in history.
May they overcome strife and find neighbourly peace as
The wind blows bitter dust in the Persian gulf.

Sonnet
I, Adonis, born out of an incest of father-daughter
Semitic god, a hunter and a handsome man
A god of vegetation, women’s laments “Adoniscries”
Festivals on me in spring, mourning in autumn.
Spending six months with favorite Aphrodite,
The Goddess of love, beauty and sexual pleasure
Born out of the churning and foaming of
Severed genitals thrown into the ocean
Loved by many of the gods and mortals
But luckily I am her most favored one
Spending six months with ill favored Persephone
Queen of the dead, and the underworld,
Pomegranate in hand, the goddess of harvest
Father promising her in marriage with his brother
Over-aged Goddess seduced me in under-age.
I have heard about “the Adonis Complex”
The main concern today of one’s body image
A modern problem striking men of all age
Ye, mortals! On the earth you have our replicas
Adonises, Zeuses, Aphrodites and Persephones
I’m not a god like Christ, Lord Krishna or Allah.
Lead me kindly not to undeserved godliness
Plead me not for my polygamy and incest
Forbid don’t forget, you masters of words
Bid me well with your thoughtful muse.

Elegiac Lyric
NEVER AGAIN!
How many times can we claim
“Never Again”
As justification for our
Systematic genocide!
“Never Again”
Has worked time and again,
To control the world’s media
Revisiting Nazi death camps
So we will never forget
As a Jew,
I must support Israeli atrocities
Or I am labeled anti-Semitic,
Ignoring the actual definition of Semitic
Which includes both Jews and Arabs!
How can I stand by,
And watch my fellow Jews,
Destroy Palestinian homes,
Palestinian schools, hospitals, and mosques,
And hold fast to “never again”.
When will my Israeli brothers and sisters
Awake from their collective reliance
On a “rational” that can no longer
Overlook the fact
That the oppressed have become the oppressors
That integral to the strategy of
“Never Again”
Is the erroneous conclusion
That all and anything
Is acceptable in the prevention of its re-occurrence.
I embrace the concept of “Never Again”,
But not as a rallying cry
To obliterate, decimate, and subjugate,
my brothers and sister Palestinians.
To this I will take a stand!
NEVER AGAIN!

Holocaust
After the war - late forties and the fiftyish
Magazines often published grizzly pictures
Of Jews being murdered for being Semitic.
Newspapers and magazines do not publish
Such photos anymore- perhaps rightly,-
They may give us nightmares.
Two old men and a boy standing at the edge
Of a mass grave, the three held their hands
Modestly over their genitalia.
German soldiers around and a civilian man
With a hunting rifle he was there
To bag a Jew.
What happened to the civilian after the war?
Probably he survived and lived a long life
Somewhere in the Alps.
We, how have seen black & white photos
Of the truth will never forget.

Water Everywhere
A dam burst in Iraq and that`s how it began it rained for months
and no one had thought of building a Noah’s ark fill it with pigs
to feast on when Christmas came around but there would be
too many objections from practising Jews, vegans, not forgetting
Muslims and the two Semitic people`s family would squabble as
they have done for centuries and the vegan`s would eat seagrass.
When Himalaya was a reef sailors on ships had eaten each other
sardines, a metre and twenty long, danced in The Radio Music Hall
a shimmering synchronised display entertaining dolphins; and
the Wall Street was a hangout for hammer- head sharks as were
the way of the pre-flooding days. Finally, the water ebbed enough
for the only man left to go ashore on the reef and dry his feet,
burning his raft, smoke a cigarette and wondering, what happened
to the blue whales.

Bio
>>1111>>MY WRITINGS GARMENTS<<1111<<
Wo! Unto the man who stands
And asserts that my writing intends,
To relate only commonplace things,
And secular narratives,
It’s not even relative,
For if it were so,
You would want to know,
That in the present times,
Yeah I’m telling you this within a rhyme as I’m sitting,
Likewise a writing might be written as I’m living,
And given with more attractive narratives.
Now I’m sick of all the arguments,
The narratives of my writings are its garments,
Come on readers I want to hear your comments!
Cause he who thinks these garments are the writing itself,
Doesn’t have true wealth and needs some,
They need to run and deserve to perish because they are dumb,
And have no share in the world to come.
Wo! unto the fools who look no further when they see an elegant robe!
Stagnant, mentally unfit to find answers across the globe, dimwit!
More valuable than the garment is the body which carries it,
Take note to the following, I recommend wisdom to everybody,
More valuable even than that is the soul which animates the body,
Cause fools only see the garments of my writings,
The more intelligent see the body, it’s more enticing,
Get with my writings, inviting anybody and all,
The wise see the soul, and take it personal,
And go on seeing its proper being, on a higher level,
In this current time we have been dealt,
The “Upper Soul” of my writings will stand revealed and felt.
These words are not mine and don’t dwell as a belief system in my mind,
This allegorical narrative is knowledge intertwined,
With tricks and how to learn to be quick,
Mentored by enlightened Semitic Jewish mystics,
You’re unintelligent, always quit, internally sick,
You’re wanting the mindset of being awake and conscious,
But you can’t reach what you’re after, its above you and afar,
Because you don’t have basic knowledge of the Zohar.

I've sat up nights
a-wondering why
I no longer hear the expression
'Here's mud in your eye'
It's not racist, sexist, or homophobic
not anti-semitic or islamophobic
Perhaps this is it: It's just so awfully deplorable
It makes Hillary Clinton seem sweet and adorable

Trumps Feeble, Limp, Rox... Zilch State Of Emergency

and sought to apologize

the apprenticed faux presidential Don,

to the modus vivendi that underlies
the immigrant experience that peopled
United States Of America, who did colonize
at expense of rightful natives
scattered innocent tribes, whose demise

I
Don't groan, I avoid hating -
Nazi Germany used 'National Socialist'
To give the lie to nationalism
And to God of all ethnoi, Jew and Gentile
But moans & groans turn to labeling
(Thinkers as Anti-Semite, even if Semitic)
Or friends of all nations, Jew & Gentile
II
You see what wrong?
I can only agree with givernments -
Or get called names, da#nn any brains:
I will be ostracized
Cast both as Nazi and Anti semite
If I say the government of Israel
Ought to have used, Judea or Judah!
The Samaritan's are still here (Nablus,
In the occupied West Bank, old Neapolis)
But Israelis rarely accept them as Jews
John chapter 4 is alive. So is Shechem!
III
When you have been a victim, or hurt
You will fly a flag higher than the cross
The cross and temple must raise flags
Must raise money, help solve problems-
But the 'church' today has no state
Or equal rights with the Flag
That's why nationalism is an ISM:
Ask Vlad Putin and the heores of USSR
