EARTH’S FAUSTIAN DILEMMA: THE MIDDLE EAST
LINCOLN AND WASHINGTON
EACH TURNING OVER IN THEIR GRAVES
THE PRESENT LEADERS ONLY SERVE
TO MAIL FUNDS OR SEND OUT THEIR KNAVES.
BIBI ENJOYS HIS POWER TO KILL
HE LAUGHS WHILE MILLIONS CRY
‘CUZ THE U.S.’S GREAT, MONEY-HOT GRILL
ALLOWS OUR TRUE PARASITIC ALLY
INTENTS TO FORCE MANY GAZANS TO DIE.
U.S. HARD-WORKERS’ TAXES,
SENT [NO CITIZEN’S PERMISSION] TO ISRAEL
ARMAMENTS, TOO, DON’T NEED TRAVEL BY FAXES.
IDF SOLDIERS CONSTANTLY RULE WITH CRUEL AXES
OUR LARGELY-TAXED $3.8 BILLIONS
AMOUNT TO ARMS IN THE GAZILLIONS.
BOMBS MARKED WITH A STAMPED “U.S.” STATE
CAUSE OUR MANY HEARTS TO ACHE.
BIBI & BIDEN ARE OUR DEVILS TODAY
RUSSIA’S PUTIN ALSO’LL MEET HIS JUST DUE
ARAB FAMILIES IN GAZA REMAIN NOW JUST A FEW
GAZA’S KILLERS. HOW WILL THEY PAY?
US/ISRAEL IS JOINED AT THE HIP
WHAT KIND OF WORDS CAN WE NOW TO GIVE LIP?
BIBI HAS GONE FAR TOO FAR TO MAKE SUCH SIN
AND BIDEN OF COURSE, MAKES WAY FOR HIM TO WIN.
PEOPLE DON’T COUNT
KILLINGS DO MOUNT
GAZA KILLINGS MUST STOP
PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE
LEFT TO WEEP, SWEEP AND MOP.
GUESS WHO COULD WIN THIS EVIL VOTING WAR
THE UNSAVORY TRUMP
WHO’LL WE’LL WISH WILL
END UP ON HIS RUMP
FOR SURE, WE’LL HIM DUMP!
WHO GIVES THE PUBLIC
SO MUCH TIME TO DECIDE?
DUMBED DOWN MASSES ONLY CHOOSE TO DERIDE, LET SLIDE.
THAT’S NOT A SAFE RIDE.
GENOCIDE, GENOCIDE, NOT A GENTLE TIDE
MOST EVERYONE’S FRIGHTENED DURING THIS AGE
THE DISEASE WE SEE OFTEN IS A CUMULATIVE RAGE
WE NOW SEE NETANYAHU ON TOP OF FIRST PAGE
THERE’S NOBODY TO OPEN THIS OUTRAGE OF A CAGE
IS THERE NO ONE HERETO ERASE THIS DAMNED MAZE?
WHAT CAN WE DO WITH MORE NEED FOR DOLLARS
WE’VE NOW GOT RING AROUND OUR COWARDLY COLLARS
WE’VE GOT TRUE POWER, BUT ONLY AS PEONS
DONATIONS MUST COME FORTH
TO CLOSE DOWN VAST LAWS’ DARKEST NEONS.
THE OUTCOME IS NOW, NOT EVEN WHEN
THE MYTH OF SISYPHUS LEAVES DISSENTERS
SO WHERE ARE OUR MENTORS?
ALL DAY AT VERY LOW GROUND
WITH NARY A REAL, LOUD-MAKING SOUND
NO WAY TO THAT ZENITH-LIKE MOUNTAIN TOP;
GUESS WHAT? WE’RE ABOUT TO LOSE A LOT.
SUPPRESSION’S INTENSE
BUT IT SO MAKES NO SENSE
IT’S A POWERFUL FENCE
AGAINST THINKERS OR THE NON-THINKING DENSE.
WE’VE NOT GOT THE POWER TO
GET RID OF THE BAD GUYS
WHAT CAN PEOPLE DO TO VOTE
FOR LEADERS WHO WOULD BE ALL-WISE?
MY SADNESS TODAY DOES MULTIPLY
AS SO MANY OTHERS FEEL THEY MUST CRY
THE OUTCOME MUST NEVER FLY BY
ELSE OUR MANY PLEAS TO BE LEFT TO DIE.
THE UN SPEAKS UP AS IF THEY WILL ACT
OTHERS, HUMANE GROUPS
WISH TO GET INTO THE ACT.
BUT ACTION TRULY NEEDS TO BE MADE FACT
AGAINST THIS CURRENT WELTSCHMERTZ.
TRY TO RHYME THAT!
GENOCIDAL INDOCTRINATION
CAN OCCUR TO MANY A NATION.
GENOCIDE, GENOCIDE
MANY LEADERS HAVE LIED
IN TIME, N.B., WE COULD ALL BE FRIED.
HANUKKAH, ZIONISM, ISLAM OR CHRISTIAN-TIDE
CAN MAKE GOOD OR BAD WHEREVER YOU RIDE
WHATEVER YOU FOLLOW
TO WITNESS WHAT WHEN COMES TOMORROW?
I SEE TOTAL DEATH IN GAZA
CHECK INTO TOMORROW,
ANY HORROR CAN FOLLOW.
WE’RE NOW AT OUR NADIR
FREEDOM’S IN DEPTH CRIES
BECOMING LESSER AND MORE FADER.
TELL ME WHAT WE MUST DO.
I FEEL SADLY OUR PLANET
IS NOW NEARLY ALL THROUGH.
