Proportionate?
Four
children playing marbles is an act
Of
terrorism? What of families
Forced to
sleep in tents? The authorities,
Judge quite
proportionate to the fact,
Launching a
punitive conflagration
In order to
maintain security,
The
long-term future and the purity
Of a
divinely appointed nation.
The irony of
a pogromed-people
Driving
others into ghettos, where they
Will survive
and simmer, then find a way
Of striking
back as soon as they’re able.
Observed in
the breach, professed human rights
Spurned as
rhetoric of anti-Semites.
D. A.
