Gaza
can you tell me the difference?
tell me which heart’s darker?
who attacks and who defends?
masked man with machete
he’s hacking the child to pieces
the bomb falling on the kindergarten
and the kiddies blown to bits
can you please tell me which is terror?
who shines the light
who holds the truth?
whom to trust?
the sovereign state
the state to fail
the righteous
and those left to fend
I do not glory this
I do not celebrate
can you see the difference?
anger throwing stones
the prison under bombardment
it’s with all of the weapons money can buy
it’s all in the dark of my head to ask
it’s improvised, the war
will they, won’t they declare
was something given to you long ago?
is it written in an old book?
who’ll remember?
I do not justify
I don’t defend
the flags?
one waves
one burns
who is it drives whom into the sea?
whom should I believe about this?
the funded, the unfunded
consider whose friends
the gun at your head
from the one to die
the pinpoint target technician
coffee at the computer
which one is the terrorist?
which one’s the freedom fighter?
holy struggle!
tell me
who’s the fool here?
who’s wise?
there’s the present
and there’s the past
from terrible things
catastrophe
some say none of this is real
they don’t exist
they’re not who they say they are
I do not justify
I don’t defend
others remember something else
how does it work?
you can say that you don’t know where the bombs fall
you can say you don’t know whose throat you cut
I have trouble with this kind of idea
it’s personal, isn’t it?
anonymous
where truth’s eternal
who sings up in the clouds?
who burns down below?
who is sleepless in the rubble?
who plumps the pillow?
all these peoples of the book
and which are chosen?
who is not?
and how does the story end?
will you tell me whose loss harder?
life more precious?
every other animal fled
they say the land bleeds
who’s more martyred?
can you tell the difference?
which heart’s darker?
I do not justify
I don’t defend
was there ever a people could do no wrong?
is there ever a people at all?
