Reviving the Embers of Guernica, a Poem

The Fascist race is marching again,

teaching new Basques a lesson again,

hundreds for one, their formula.

***

The plotting board is bristling again

with targets for bloodlust and suffering again.

Struggle is futile, bombs hammer.

***

The well-dressed men are dissembling again,

masking their sadism with speeches again,

blaming the victim's resistance.

***

The cries of children are echoing again.

Shrieks of women piercing ears again,

while buildings collapse throughout Gaza.
