"Genocided genociders"
Look, the victims of holocaust
committing genocide
They bomb indiscriminately
the so-called open prison
With the embargo they imposed
they let civilians starving
There's no humanity in them
thus, i dub them subhumans *1
They have lost count on the dead
more than some sixty thousands
The former genocided ones
became genociders
Semites massacring semites
almost a fratricide
Behold the majestic zionism
in all of its greatest glory
The jews are now philistines
auschwitz is now gaza
Hitler is netanyahu
and nazis are now zionists
Americans, heroes of world war
are now israel's lackeys
A whole superpower
can't look them in the eye
SHAME on most evangelicals
they're anything but christians
But, this somehow has to end
one day they'll have to pay
It's not an "if", it is a "when"
have courage palestine.

Contested Crossroads
By Mark D. Stucky
On a battleground bloodied across millennia,
on a compact land bridge spanning continents and gods…
Canaanites, Philistines, and Hebrews, oh my!
Israelites, Judeans, and Samaritans, oh my!
Babylonians, Persians, and Romans, oh my!
Jews, Muslims, and Crusaders, oh my!
Turks, Brits, and Zionists, oh my!
Palestinians, Israelis, and others, oh my!
So many clashing claims to such a small strip of land.
So much religious, political, and ethnic strife.
So much cursing, contempt, and conflict.
So much destruction, death, and despair.
So many words of unfulfilled prayers.
So little hope for permanent peace?

I think the patron saints have all been left for dead.
The lies have all been said,
and payments been arranged.
The depositions all went down behind the scenes.
The clergy spilled the beans,
but somehow the guilty never found
Have you heard of Jesus?
He was very wise,
now he lives up in the sky.
sing along, sing in spite of all the pain
sing in spite of all of the pain
Children start out in the world so full of dreams.
Then come the philistines,
who run those dreams into the ground.
Yes, it’s been confirmed, the patron saints are dead.
The church is in the red,
and we are all concerned.
I can imagine Jesus,
with a mighty spell,
sending all those guys to hell.
sing along, sing in spite of all the pain,
sing in spite of all of the pain.
The sordid stories that were hidden from us all,
except on bathroom stalls,
those turned out to be the facts.
Children start out in the world so full of trust,
their faith was easily crushed,
and now we’re filled with a righteous rage.
Now we’re living in a new enlightened age -
sure that we can be the change.
Can we live like Jesus?
Can we avoid lies - can we be compassionate and wise?
sing along, sing in spite of all the pain
sing in spite of all of the pain

You Never Do
You say that I am skinny but you give me nothing to eat.
You say that I am quiet but you don’t come and talk with me
You say that I need a friend but you leave me vulnerable in
The open guts of the enemies. You say that I am stink yet you
Give me no soap to wash my body. You say that I am working too hard
But you send no one to help me.
Here I am in the open space looking closely at the race, with noise around and a bunch of vagabond surround me with hearts packed with stones and a conscience unknown .Filthy hands and stirring the dish and their head beating on the concrete and washing the dirty dish.
Hypothetical sound playing in the ground and they are walking around
In long gown, with the religious pants dropping underneath their bottom
and hands sliding into their gowns for a pocket that is not found
oh how I loathe this disposition. I watched the eyes looking up and down for a word that cannot be found and the crown with its punitive
weight moving from side to side in the middle of the day.
You stand and watched the philistines descend upon me, you watched them hauled and pull me on the ground, you did nothing to help and then you say that you are heaven bound.Oh yes your heaven is up there
But my heaven is right here on earth. My heaven gives life and it comes with many years of sacrifice. You play the music loud to break my eardrums but I let the sound pass right through and filters in thin air.
Your mountain is getting low and you don’t have much further to go
You watched them mocked me when the vagrants unpacked on me but my spirit drives them back to their destiny. They run like wolves down
the street erupting the cities heart beat. I am here and you are there
and I have nothing to fear. You cannot mix religion with business that is hypocrisy in the third degree and you will not get not one more penny from me. I cannot be wooed y some religious song, and you will be hanged like every bad man and your accomplice will pay their dues with you and I want to tell you that you cannot do.

INTERVIEW WITH AN ANGEL
Way back then, Noah had clearly read the signs
Here and now, so very few of us are left
I’m Goliath, frontman for the Philistines
Without my trusty visor, I am bereft
But I am very tall, and not a small ‘un
With his sling, David did seem to be so deft
Some might say that my ego may be swollen
I was up there once, but I am now down here
As an angel, I am considered fallen
There are a lot of rumours that you will hear
All about my having risked both life and limb
But no need for pity, nor to shed a tear
I’m but one of what were many Nephalim
Yet unlikely to ever feature in any hymn
It seems appropriate that our children visited Michelangelo’s marble statue of David yesterday…(from the hotel where they’re staying…David was just a stone’s throw away.)
Everything the Israelites had…the philistines wanted to obtain…it’s a lot like what is happening today…With Russia and Ukraine.
But they fought their war a little differently back then…if we are to believe the scriptural writing…each side sent out their strongest warrior…and he would do the fighting.
The philistines sent out Goliath…the preeminent warmonger…confident that in all the world…there was no warrior stronger.
For 40 days Goliath taunted the Israelites…for he knew…and they knew he was much too strong…until a young boy with a sling and five stones…his name was David…came along.
The culmination of the story is certainly well known …David slew Goliath…brought him down with just one stone.
David was not supposed to win that battle…everyone, except David, was convinced…giving hope to every underdog whose faced a mightier opponent since.
Proving the amount of size and strength a person has…although an important part…is not as important as the size and strength of the courage in one’s heart.
My prayers are with you…the people of Ukraine…in the midst of a battle unlike any battle you have ever seen…as you…the modern day David…face off against the stronger Russian philistine.
As you come face-to-face with your giant… may the courage in your heart never stray…and just like David may you win your battle in an unusual and surprising way.
So one day when my children visit Ukraine…as I have no doubt they will do
they will seek out the landmarks of your great country…
and stand in awe in front of a marble stature
sculpted to look like you.
For one full year I have been thrown in the lion`s den
And the lion has been running and jumping
And pulling savagely at my leg
The philistines also surround me
with a hidden weapon dancing beneath me
And the church with all it`s hyprocrasy and
white hats barking down the hill
looked at me in dismay as I ran virougsly up the hill
If I am hungry no one knows, if I am sick no one knows
If I am sad, no one knows and when I am at peace with them
They throw tissue paper in my face and called me the Devil from hell
They call me names but I stand looking at them without shame
If only I could get through this day,
I would hold up my hands and say
This is just another day.
Yes this is just another day and you have
to embrace it before your heart goes astray
The meeting and the dealing
The cheating and the underlined feelings,
The signiture on top of the dollar
And the hour that dosn`t look proper
And when the day is done
This is the place where they shout Amen Alleluia
This is the place where the devil is enraged
My spirit is flaming inside me
And the birds are flying about me
Oh what profanity,
Oh what desolution when the windows of heaven breaks loose
And you have no one to bend down and lace your shoes
And when you cannot minister to my innate cry the earth will open
its guts and penetrate all the rust with the passing of time
I cannot release this welled up tears that has been
watering my eyes for over one year
It is the daily despositon that make me sigh and
the lack of understanding that they cannot deny
A gang of men and a pack of wolves speaking
above their voices with no vision or insight they
are just working daily for a bligh, and when
the evening is done they go to bed with saw dust on their front
I still cannot feel at peace here, and I will not live in fear
I am going to get up and just walk out of here
No finger to burn and no message to return
It feels like a wilderness surrounds me
And a fire is raging above me
And just around the bend,
It feels like the lion is grinding in the den
The month is coming to an end when
And I wish that the sorrows will go away
The day is absorbed in its own horror
And I wish for a better tomorrow
When knowledge will clothe the face
And wisdom will prevail over the race
Remove the covers off your face and strike
a deal before it is too late.
