UN Now Confirms Genocide in Gaza: A Poetic Reckoning

By No Comments1 min read
A desolate landscape with silhouettes of people walking through the ruins.

Gaza’s Genocide

There’s a genocide declared
going on under the sun.
The crescent moon can’t console
Numbed screams of the oppressed.
And their nuclear oppressors:
it’s like nothing under the sky
can refrain them either.

Unrefrained, they dole out
a persistent and ecstatic orgy
of terror every second, every minute,
every hour in the valley of Rebbe
Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.

The oppressed shuffle south
into al-Mawasi’s shadow of death,
fearing evil unlike the 80-100,000 dead,
massacred but at least
they do not have to face
what the living must face.

The afterlife, wherever this is,
that state is better than the babies
born today in Gaza and those
soon to be born who shall witness
this misery under the solar system.
And the congregation whispered,

אָמֵ

A large, rusty broken key lies in rubble as silhouettes walk beneath an orange sky with both the sun and crescent moon.
