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

They’ve

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
    More than half

The Middle East

The Middle East 

When the persecuted became persecutors 
chaos followed; what a mess the Middle East is
Both sides of the conflict like killing one other
up pops more fanatics with eager knives
If you are an Arab Christian, your life is short
if you are a Muslim, they will give you the key
to London and the neighboring locals 
Is there

Who will tame the Rogue Ztate?

‘We stand by the dead
We support the displaced
We succor the disabled
We serve the deprived’

But who will tame the Rogue Ztate?
Who will knock with the Mosaic Punch?
Who will arrest the savage Thug?
Who will pull their below rug?

While the civilized world
Boils in this soup
Who will stir the pot
To injustice stop?

If I Were The AntiChrist

If I were the Antichrist,
I would wait and watch,
When God gets tired of humanity
He would unleash me, his scourge.

I would begin by encouraging 'peace'
After all I know all tongues,
I would ban all forms of currency,
Take you back in time.

I would open borders and encourage love,
No visas, passports, attestations required,
Do What you Will, For that is

Dancing Jinn In Nag Hammadi

Blind in the all-consuming mist without a trace of light 
Blind in the oven’s black smoke that makes all songs to Jesus seem hushed 
A woman grabbed some of the treasures given from the height 
In her worn hands, feeling the papyrus and straw being now crushed 
And threw them in the flickering fire to

Not Quite English

Where are you really from?

An all-too familiar question,

One which I quite detest.


Often looking for simple answer,

This I cannot give, too awkward to tell the truth,

I can only say, not quite English, not quite like you.


My skin is not quite white,

My eyes not quite blue or brown,

Turkish, Greek, Spanish…?

He’s from somewhere out of town.

Musings On Faith

Who are we but our practices,
Our ancient food and songs,
Who are the chosen few that we meet in the beyond?

Where are the lines beneath,
From order to chaotic press,
Defined by time and creed it seems devoid of holiness.

If all glory be to G-d, is that to yours or mine,
The differences seem minor through translations over time,

The Middle East Leaders Should Look To Ireland To Help End Crisis

I look at where Ireland is now,
Compared to the dark times,
They seem to have put behind them
Through courageous decisions made for the sake of peace,
On both sides of the conflict.

I see that as a path for leaders involved in middle east conflict to take,
And I am sure if they asked for mediation from Ireland,
As they

No Anchor For Rancour

If only the archangel Gabriel
would visit and with holy host proclaim
“Children of Creation, let there be
no anchor for rancor in the Dead Sea,
nor fuel for cruelty in Bethlehem;
let people enjoy temple, steeple, and mosque,
live their lives and their loves without mayhem,”
perhaps the shredding shrapnel that shocks
us into rage at loss would cease, and we could

White Near East and Such

ONE:
Is our Near East in Asia? Are Israelis "Asians"?
People from India are called South Asians
The same folk in Caribbean are East Indians!
Fancy that: West Indians being called East Indians
STOP: DON'T BLAME COLUMBUS
He simply said, Indios! You say South Asians
But I don't see North Asians, East Asian, or West Asians!

Now, Arabs are classed WHITE in
