Calling a spade, a spade

When they knock out hospitals and kill patients overflowing in the hallways,
and bomb crowded refugee camps with made in US bombs,
and attack refugee convoys without mercy,
when they refuse water, food, and electricity to millions under their occupation,
and demolish whole neighborhoods with their smart bombs,
and let cloud of white phosphorus over Gaza City,
when they trash every rule of civility and behave like invading Mongols,
calling their victims "human animals,"
and are rejoiced by their influence peddlers in Western capitals,
when they push for UN chief's resignation for daring to question their atrocities,
and try to make America in their repressive image, trampling on rights,
I say state terrorist, terrorizing humanity's soul, benumbing human conscience.
