Poem: Israel In Need Of Heart Replacement Surgery
Palestine Discovers Israel in Need of Heart Replacement Surgery
By Genevieve Cora Fraser
Heart surgery
Would have saved her
A Palestinian woman
denied
Entry into the land
Of the Pharaohs
Egypt
By Israel the land of Death
Decrees issued
summarily
As a god among themselves
A
Self-worshipping
Power to destroy
All that is within
their grasp
Instead she died
As so many
Palestinian
Mothers die at checkpoints
Giving birth to
Arab life
Condemned to death
By Zionist forces
Hell
bent on destroying
All that is not of so-called
Jewish origin ancient buildings
600 year old
archeological
Testaments of Arab survival
In Hebron
bulldozed
Into oblivion for a road
To Kiryat Arba
An illegal Israeli Settlement
Nouveau entrails
Of
Jewish Messianic fervor
For real estate
Predictable
pedestrian
Replacements prophesy Greatness
As they
obliterate
Grandeur of a past
They pretend to
But
know
Preciously little about
Harsh
unforgiving
Settlements created
To house the harsh
unforgiving
New heirs
To the kingdom
As Israeli
tanks tear up
Palestine digging up
Holy Land
streets
Randomly firing at people's
Heads and
hearts
Demolishing shops and homes
Demonstrating at
every opportunity
Their unfitness to rule
themselves
Let alone the Middle Eastern world
They
claim as Abraham's seed
Though lacking the
bloodlines
Israel crushes Semite hearts
In a mortar
and pestle
Made of Zionist stone
Found in the
heart
Of Israel
