just a thought

Just a thought.

 If the Palestinians 
had looked like the Danes
 and with blond hair and blue-eyed 
Less Semitic 
Would West Europe have done more 
to save Gaza 
From the genocide we witness 
Are we witnessing racism in action

the lost tribe

The Lost Tribe

Holocaust, this tragic word, millions of lives lost in its
name, and it has not ended. This time,
it is the
Palestinians who are victims of a people
who have learned only one lesson to survive 
one has to be
 and able to tell lies and
cynically play on Europe’s common guilt.
Hitler wasn’t able to remove the Jews; we Christians
wouldn’t let him.
The people of Israel have taken it upon themselves to
emulate their former tormentors,
will not be able to eradicate the Palestinians
 we, the despised and cowardly Christians,
will not let them.
The raw disregard the Israelites show against their Semitic Brothers borders to self-hate; it will corrupt them, and they will sink into nihilism.
Dust upon dust, the story could have been so different hadn’t
they decided that kindness
was a hindrance when creating their tribal paradise.

the first commandment

The First Commandment

we have got a message
if anyone writes from the river to the sea Palestine will be free, and will not be published because it is upsetting for Israel to hear what
is an obvious truth 
Notice this will not be published it is not a ban we who believe in the “First Amendment” is there is a limit to freedom of expression when it goes against the sitting power structure Even the cherished X, knows that 
As the evening progresses one notices fillers in newspapers, one such filler says that a test has shown that 87% of Israel’s Jews are not Semitic at all, they are mostly Russian Zionists, and Polish Warshaw dwellers, misfits not fitting in among the general population
The real Semites are the Palestinians going back 2000 years about the time of Jesus Christus What we see is the Zionists are wedging war against the real Jews who call themselves Palestinians possibly to avoid detection that it was those who crucified Jesus

not happy

Not Happy

This morning on a site. we saw the hotel where
Hemingway stayed to write an important book
We wait to see which bed he slept in, also
it is an ad when a site feels the need to out-basing
such triviality 
In the newspaper, that day was struck the sameness
how articles were written "We need to talk about"
and so on
We are told of a Ukraine war, not the reason only
that Russia wants the rest of Europe and other
blatant lies
Any critical observation about Israel is dismissed
out of hand as anti-Semitic, censoring our minds
when not asking the obvious questions 
In Holland, farms are closed to give land to new
towns filled with people who hate the West and
wants to declare Shari law
A replacement of old stock, planned by George Soros 
and other, ill-meaning people
In the meantime, the cold wind has ceased, and the flowers
on the balcony sing towards the sun, as we are told
we will have nothing and be happy about it

To Never Learn

Sodom and Gomorrah
their tale retold
Ignoring scripture
the world grown cold
Semitic factions
that seek and kill
Their hate on fire
their rage instills

Sodom and Gomorrah
two faiths subscribe
The Quran and Bible
their fate describes
Brother kills brother
the hour late
“Vengeance Is Mine”
—damnations fate

Premium MemberA-Wondering Why

I've sat up nights
    a-wondering why
  I no longer hear the expression
    'Here's mud in your eye'

  It's not racist, sexist, or homophobic
    not anti-semitic or islamophobic 
  Perhaps this is it: It's just so awfully deplorable
    It makes Hillary Clinton seem sweet and adorable

Premium MemberCynic

CYNIC

He was Dean of the university’s
College of Creative Malfeasance, 
including the Schools of Business,
Law, Information Technology, Marketing,
Economics, Theology and International 
Relations!

His son was more sinister
He was a minister in the 
Church of Confederate Christianity,
a denomination that is anti-family,
anti-immigrant, anti-democratic,
anti-Semitic, racist, pro-gun
and absolutely pro-life, perpetually
in the courts, perpetually in the news 
and social media, perpetually in your face
a rising case of rape and incest,
a danger to our lives, an acute
health problem, requiring
an abortion!

What's Wrong With Nationalism

I
Don't groan, I avoid hating -
Nazi Germany used 'National Socialist'
To give the lie to nationalism
And to God of all ethnoi, Jew and Gentile
But moans & groans turn to labeling
(Thinkers as Anti-Semite, even if Semitic)
Or friends of all nations, Jew & Gentile

II
You see what wrong?
I can only agree with givernments -
Or get called names, da#nn any brains:
I will be ostracized
Cast both as Nazi and Anti semite
If I say the government of Israel
Ought to have used, Judea or Judah!
The Samaritan's are still here (Nablus, 
In the occupied West Bank, old Neapolis)
But Israelis rarely accept them as Jews 
John chapter 4 is alive. So is Shechem!

III
When you have been a victim, or hurt
You will fly a flag higher than the cross
The cross and temple must raise flags
Must raise money, help solve problems-
But the 'church' today has no state
Or equal rights with the Flag
That's why nationalism is an ISM:
Ask Vlad Putin and the heores of USSR

On Your Mind

Your natural inclination for smileage puts a lion’s share of mileage between me and all that’s acidic. Not being anti Semitic but I’d love to adorn you with a crown of roses: no thorns.
I’ll build us a deer park, and we’ll spoon there, on benches, next to fountains, while Bambi comes to feast on tart greens. Don’t worry. They won’t be offended by our steamy scenes, nor your folded-up jeans. 
Girl, say what’s on your mind.
In a universe this size, your big beacon-like eyes make the ether opaque enough to beseech you, and teach you, but what the hell is the point, if my spirit can’t reach you?
Say what’s in your heart.
Say what’s on your mind.
‘Cause the imbedded image of your smileage has faded. I guess we’ve all been a long time jaded.
Who am I to talk?
What’s on your mind?

The Fox In the Henhouse

The fox in the henhouse

The settlers are burning down Palestinians olive trees,
No main newspapers care to report the truth the settlers are conniving
With the Israeli government to do this unopposed.
What we a witnessing is the destruction of a people who had
their land was stolen and hounded to elimination by those who chose
to believe what a scribe said.
There have been many massacres over time like what happened
to the Albanians and other minorities such as the Rohingya people
In the hands of the Buddhists.
We have had the Holocaust, but it is the first time we are seeing
The oppressed are becoming oppressors, and they are so successful
That if we protest, they are calling us anti- Semitic.

Premium MemberA Dissing of Shakespeare

Today there's a dissing of Shakespeare
   His penning's dismissed as old-hat
Take time to get know him --
   He's wittier than Dr. Seuss' Cat

Many point to the Merchant of Venice
   To prove he was anti-Semitic
Read Shylock's defense of his profession
   It's magnificent, Biblically prophetic

Shakespeare knew the Prince of Denmark
   Julius Caesar Antony & Cleopatra too
He described the events of millenia
   Pin-point penned every plot, every coup

Yet today there's a dissing of Shakespeare
   And the nodding world sheds nary a tear
