A Word to the Wise is Deficient

By robert braunstein

Israeli Politics. A mess with Hamas

::::::::

It tears at my heart not to speak out for your part

But your stance is insane

And the blood is profane

Amidst phosphorous rain

Your point gets undone

When it's made with the gun

And the young children run

Their pain blocks out the sun.

You cannot blockade

The truth that is made.

The world won't come to your aid;

You cannot persuade.;

You can't withhold water

You must do what you oughta

With the tanks on the border.

You can't withhold the drugs

Like jackbooted thugs

Your memory won't justify

The people, the lie

The eye for an eye

Your piece of the pie

With my best regards,

Please call off the guards

It's time to talk peace

Before the time ends.

Better bend then to break

When your arguments fake.

You can't hold with your tanks

A whole people's will

How much can you kill?

I'm begging you brothers

For the sake of the mothers

Don't be like the others.

Don't emulate the mean,

The vicious obscene

Imperial dogs in the West.

It's no way to be

You won't win in the end.

America's nobody's friend

Even God won't defend

What's around the next bend.
