Expressing negation or absence

 

When the messenger 

has become bigger 

than the message

in the eyes of all 

faithful puppets

there's no fall

not summer

nor spring

all winter

climate

beats

soul

-

not, non, no

-

soul

beats

climate

all winter

not spring

nor summer

there's no fall

faithful puppets

in the eyes of all 

when a  message

has become bigger 

Than the messenger

Prophets of Antiquity

 

They never wrote

a letter or syllable

not a single word

You

 


I am a blurred

part of your essence

mirrored image obscured

From the Beginning


I never needed this life

to learn to be your friend 

perhaps you needed it

to proof you are part me

An Abominable Poem

 

On his retina he sees the child with a bandage

on the stump of his wrist where once was a hand

and another where once was a leg, a foot, both legs

and some say these are the fortunate for they still live


In his ears ring the blasts and sounds of bombs exploding

and of children crying and then -under concrete- dying

some insist this isn't genocide, no crime committed


He looks at the secretly taken videos and photographs

of the men and women -of whatever age- imprisoned

from Gaza or from the West Bank, labeled Hamas

as if that would justify any terror, torture, murder


There's no poetry in here, no, for a world such as this

it does not rhyme

As his eyes search the sky, he prays, for a future free 

and peaceful Palestine



Note.

This truly is an abominable poem, for there shouldn't have been a reason to write it,

as I ask, can there be greater guilt than for a nation that emerged out of a genocide 

colonising a land, committing ethnic cleansing & war crimes adding up to genocide.
