Patriotic States of Mind
Problem is
not simply Zionism:
Nation
states however constituted
Are, by
definition, ill-reputed,
The
foundation of discord and schism.
Meanwhile,
picking on one to vilify
And then
promoting another to toast
Is to risk taking
route to holocaust,
In which not
only the selected die.
Power may
grow from the barrel of the gun,
But justice
doesn’t, nor finds solutions,
As conflict
grows from national illusions:
Poll the too
many dead as to who’s won.
Patriotism
might motivate crowds,
While
patriotic flags turn into shrouds.
D. A.
