The Case Before You
Bloodlust gathers in Tel Aviv
where plans of ethnic cleansing seethes
to carpet bomb all Gaza’s land
and western leaders back their plan.
Gathered around the prison gate
becoming demons with their hate
destroy two million people’s homes
with jets and tanks and their drones.
Satanic monsters bloodied crawl
malevolent, hateful one and all
ten thousand children they have killed
their bodies dead, the streets are filled.
With tears that come down as the rain
upon the tank treads that remain
the mud reflects those children’s eyes
all filled with fear and pain and cries.
And mothers, fathers, sisters, aunts
all crushed beneath Israeli tanks
or bullet swarms from U.S. firms
to kill the people, they call germs.
I do not care what their supporters think
supremacist wails don’t make me shrink
I stand for justice and human kind
not gangs of evil so maligned.
I call for justice to be served
after all the heinous crimes observed
applaud South Africa’s great support
at the international criminal court.
