Tarred by the same brush

In the ongoing slaughter of Palestinian children 
one misses a voice from Israel, so far, it is silent
The expectation is for Jews witnessing this horror
falling back to the old mantra, if asked, says Israel 
right to defend herself. 
At the cost of seven thousand dead Palestinian children!
Then we get what Hamas did, yes it was bad
but was the bombing of Gaza and the murder of
2O.000 and more a plaster on the wound 
And they  blame it on Hamas if they stop resisting 
we will stop bombing civilians get killed because the dastardly Hamas hides among the people
How is it possible to hide in a congested place like 
the Gaza Strip.
What I suspect is that the Jews of Israel don't care what happened to the Palestinians, demanding  a lull in the fighting to rescue the hostages, show not an ounce of sympathy for 
the children killed by their sons!
Yes, the young men of Israel who, with abandonment, are strewing death on innocent people 
Once again, I must conclude the people of Israel are Zionists and guilty, and like the German people found guilty of knowing about the Holocaust.

Tarred and Feathered

Written By:  D. Collins 11/9/21


In my mind I have this picture of Ahmaud Arbery.
Being tarred, feathered, then hung from a tree.
Hunted like a runaway slave with dogs in pursuit.
Five-O treated the scene like "Good 'Ole Boys" do.


The truck was the horses, and guns were the whips.
Chased down and slain, became this Bruthaz end.
His killing strikes up some old time memories.
And, remind me of how I made it through the Ancestry.


Some had to be tarred and feathered, which still exists.
Just in a different location, such as Minneapolis.
Black women sacrificed based on the 3-strike rule.
Get the the next generation, the objective is proved.


 Arbery got treated like teachings of Willie Lynch.
In the public of slaves, stretch a man in different directions.
Lynch taught all his disciples, it would last 400 years.
Passed down through generations to the Great-Grankids.

Tarred and Feathered

Here I stand before you good people of Liberated France,
The Nazi’s have been beaten and it is time to dance.
But we have a job to do before the celebrations begin,
These woman that stand before you are traitors.
They slept with Nazi soldiers and some even had babies to them.
I cannot believe the horror of these women.
Well now is the time of judgement.
We must shave their heads and paint swaztikas on their chests.
They must not forget they were traitors.
Speak and see if we will forgive you.
“I am Jacqueline. Yes I slept with the Soldiers. I had to do it
to get food for me and my baby. My daughter had already died.
I did not start the war. I was captured and put in a prison camp.
I would have died if I didn’t do these things to survive.”

Shave her head and paint her chest and tar and feather her back.
We must send a message. Viva La France.


Sky Tarred

Star is S-tar
That’s Sky tar
Sky is tarred with stars
To shed light on Angles to walk right!

Stars Tarred

All the stars tarred,
Day before new moon day!
