Poem: Lebanese Al Nakba Or Israel's Undoing?
Lebanese Al Nakba Or Israel's Undoing?
By Genevieve Cora Fraser
Beneath
the rubble
Of the land
That would be
Known as
part
Of the New
Middle East
Imposed
By
Condi Rice
Imperial Forces
Of the Neo Con
Artists
of the United
States of America's
Zionist
Administration
Energy interests
And its shadow
Government Israel
Is Lebanon resisting
Cedar shorn
but vibrant
With cluster bombs
Guided missiles
And
other weapons
Of mass destruction
Determined to stamp
Out the Resistance
Born of blood spilled
From
Occupation
Civil War
Refugees
From Al
Nakba
Encamped waiting
For salvation
Born of agony
and loss
The ancestral lands
Of Lebanon are not
ready
For the plucking
Yet again
Israel
cloaks her malevolence
In apologies massacres
Not
intended but sanctioned
And executed funneled
Weapons from Massachusetts
Seattle and Florida
munitions
Signed by Israeli school
Children
determined
To press the cause of bloodshed
To the
enemy who will not die
Lebanon is Neo
Born
United Christian
Muslim and Druze meet
As
brothers and sisters
In arms digging in
Refusing to
accept
The yoke so recently cast off
Once again
imposed
United with Hizbullah
And their Arab and
Muslim
Brothers across the globe
Seeing clearly
despite the haze
Of war where the enemy
Positions
himself amidst
The powers that be
Cloaked in
diplomacy
So secret it defies
Detection the
world's
Hunger for justice
Unmet once again
As
corporate powers
Deliver oil pipelines
Links from the
Caspian
Sea to the Eastern
Mediterranean
Past
Syria and Lebanon
To Israel
Imperial
Forces
Join forces
To subdue the people
Cut-out
from the action
Financial windfalls
Reborn from
oppression
Free to Be
Lebanon's
Resistance
Bears witness to Israel's
Brutality
determined
To crush the Lebanese
Spirit
Unbroken
Unbowed
As Israel assaults
An
entire nation
Armed to the teeth
Alone amidst
The
enemies
It's worked
So hard
To create
Israel
screams
Out in victim-hood
Israel Has a
Right
To Self Defense
But who
will
Defend
Israel
From
itself?
