Poem: Israel Bug Sprays Israeli Citizens
Israel Bug-Sprays Israeli Citizens
By Genevieve Cora Fraser
Bedouin tribes of
Negev
As ancient as the sand
Are Rounded-Up by
Israel
Spraying pesticide
On their time-honored
land
Though first captured
As Israeli citizens
In
1948 they are hated
As non-Jewish intruders
An offense
to be remedied
Though chemical liquidation
Aerial
spraying of livestock
Crops, water and
Bedouin
Villages with Monsanto's
Witches brew of
toxic
Roundup pesticide
For a healthy dose
Of
gastrointestinal
Hemorrhaging, cancer
Sperm loss and
death
To the Bedouins
Not of the preferred
race
Round them up, drive
Them out or kill
them
Like the gypsies despised
By Hitler and Nazi
friends
Who gassed and liquefied
Them Israeli
cleansing agents
Sweep out the disease
Of a
non-preferred populace
A subculture Arab race
Smashing
homes and lives
Into oblivion shouting
"Never Again.
Never Again.
Never Again!!" as they light
A thousand
candles
To stop anti-Semitism
At their gate
Didn't anyone tell
Israeli Jews
Bedouins are
Semites
But maybe not
