After all these years,

(I and that nation

arising from that same conflagration)

I am brought to sorrow and disappointment

watching Jews

perpetuate genocide on the evening news.

No longer can “Gods Chosen”

claim the name and protections

afforded to victims.

They have exchanged purities white glove

for the bloody brown gauntlet of power.

The nearly destroyed have become destroyers.

I watch as progeny of the valiant survivors,

by their own aggression,

become the dark, masked, mass murderers

of babies in Gaza.

And now,

America,

guilty by association,

supplier of deadly arms and munitions,

complicit in Israeli guilt.

The perpetuation of the slaughter of Palestinians

by Bi-Bi and his Parliament

mirrors the Nazis of the 1940’s,

Hitler and the Reichstag.

The intranscience, the callousness,

of the orthodox, right wing

of Netanyahu’s coalition government

has smeared Zionism with a blood stain

the world will not soon forget.

And when the reflected image of Iatollah Irans

genocidial plans

for the Jewish people

swing into action,

their fruition already on their desert door step,

who will be quick to answer

Israels pleas for succor?

The West,

never the pro-simetic bastion

it purports to be,

will say,

in chest-thumping excuse,

“Turn about is fair play!”

While the whole, horrific history of the Jews

repeats itself.

Their doomed nation drowned

in their own blood.

Their bodies washed into the Middle Sea.

Added to the images of pogroms in The Vale,

Baba Yar

and the ancient Babylonian Captivity.

Yes, I am brought to tears.
