The Slaughterer

The slaughterer came to the market

Dancing and wielding a matchet

He sang songs of sorrow;

And wrote rhymes for his victims of tomorrow.

                                                                                             

He grabs lands at his will

There is nothing he cannot steal.

He has stolen people’s identities

In his quest to commit atrocities.

 

The slaughterer’s threat is real

With the devil he had struck a deal

To kill those who opposes him

For in his face we are all Gohim.

 

The slaughterer detests peace

With him the world is no longer at ease.

He spares not innocent children

And he blackmails his brethren.

 

The slaughterer swims and drinks

From the gruesome river of blood

Of women and children he had killed

In the face of the world’s hypocrisy.

 

The slaughterer in Tel-Aviv has gone mad

From the boarders of Jordan, Lebanon and Islamabad,

He longs to destroy those he stole their lands.

And return homes back to dust and sands.

 

The slaughterer’s cowardice is imminent

When he meets his match on the battle-field

He runs to his accomplice in the devil’s own land

For money and the tools of his crimes

 

And now that we know the slaughterer

That maims children and women at will

He calls us all anti-Semites;

A name he stole from those whom he now oppresses.
