East Poems

Higher Ground

Every time I turn my radio on
I hear the same old song
and I await good news from abroad today
especially a change is on the way
but I don't believe all they say
as how can they see eye-to-eye
or meet face-to-face
when east looks east and west looks west
in this so-called human race
putting power in the hands
of people who

West Meets East

When the west Indian met her ideal east Indian man,
She went through a string of more than several Indian lovers.
Decided he's the one she refuses to string along.

The Bell of the East

When we speak, I hear your voice through the words! Only a few times have I heard your voice! To me you are beautiful and perfect in everything! Maybe I am a fool for having a passion that is strong and appreciative of your presence!
I would rather be called a fool by everyone for my

They Wanted an A-Bomb

For 46 years - prideful and hateful 
Wrath, envy, spreading the net
Building an A-Bomb, a decision fateful
A sword to be held, like eternal threat

Destruction, murder, elimination
Iran, to wipe Israel off the map
A sordid task for the whole nation
Stubborn threats, boasts, contempt

It was their purpose, the goal, the aim
To end every Jew on planet Earth
Fanned hot

Amalek’s Demise

Amalek is the archetypal enemy of the Jews and the symbol of evil in Jewish religion and folklore. Amalekites represent an "eternally irreconcilable enemy" that wants to murder Jews.

Israel begins a war against Iran

The battle rages on, it seems
The time has come, can wait no longer
Must stop the threats’ unending streams
From Tehran, Middle East warmonger

When I touched it I truly understood the work of art that God created

East River Esplanade

We emerged from Grand Central Station, 
Both ill, alarmed at our situation
Like two invaders, erupting forth
My twin went south, and I went North
I jaywalked reckless nearly hit by a car.
Then saw a bridge over the FDR

I wondered what price would be paid 
On autopilot, I came on to the Esplanade
The pavement was wide, hexagonal tiled

Religión en el Este (“Religion in the East”)

alabaster gods elongated like white whales;
gilded gods gleaming like golden ears of corn;
serpentine gods coiling around the crime of being

Syncronicity'

What do you see.? Conflict in Isreal, and knife attacks; also some by car so far.' France Sweden, Britian Germany, in the main
By foreigen national asylum seekers.' Is this just madness
Or could there be a pattern.? As it is in the Middle-East' so in
The west so it shall be.? For that is what presents itself'

New Math in the Middle East

   In 2011, Hamas released one (1) Israeli
      for 1,027 Palestinian detainees
    Somehow that never added up for me

    This Sunday Hamas will release five innocent Israelis
      for 700 Palestinian detainees
