Poems - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, GAZA

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, GAZA

by delapruch

will the Palestinian children of Gaza
who get sicker by the day
from drinking the polluted water
(caused by the Israeli government’s
Operation Cast Lead 2008-2009
bombing of Gaza, which obliterated
the sewage system there, subsequently
leaking poisonous anemia & cancer-
causing nitrate levels into the water
system, with a blockade still running
that keeps the people of Gaza from
having any access to clean water)
remember,
if they live to do so,
the FREE ELECTION in 2006
when Hamas was brought into the
government there,
making both Israel & it’s big brother
(whose attempt at overthrowing Hamas
failed)
just downright pissy?

will the Palestinian children of Gaza
who get sicker by the day,
remember the temper tantrums thrown
by big brother empire & its little arms
warehouse in the middle east
just because they didn’t get what they
wanted
(violating international law---
nothing new to either of them---
wrapping themselves around the tiny
strip of land in order to further strangle
the Palestinian people trying desperately
to survive there)?

how could they forget.
