Arabic knows..the true text of Aliyah
Aliyah
is taking faith,
nationality,
AND creed
plus personal greed
to advocate hatred,
violence,
AND intolerance
plus personal greed
all for IS-real IS-real IS-real
Arabic shaped the land
explained our heritage
no matter who we are
and Aliyah brought in bullets
and bombs
Homegrown Arabic
tended the olive trees
and the herbs
sheparding sheep and goats
for generations
roots entwined
naming villages and flowers and children
generations of life and loving
and Aliyah's boycott of all things Palestinian
brought in bigotry
and prison camps
Arabic knows the real story
the true text
of Aliyah
The poisoned wells
The checkpoints, the curfews and the closures.
The armored tanks and bulldozers
The wall of hate... and the ruined homes
the many ways
Aliyah has become human ugliness
made manifest
Adam & Eve leave the garden of Eden
and forget that they can not own God
and microchips made in IS-real help make drones
and drones
help make a mess of targeted killings
ricocheting world wide
into terror everywhere
it didn't have to be this way
but pretending it isn't only makes it worse.
