unprovoked resistance; (a sequel to the Monsters' Ball)




having come to the conclusion
that the colonially entrenched
racist to its very bones
capitalist West

entertains no morals at all,

and will never bring itself
to
stop the bleeding,

the Palestinians struck back,

drawing blood too,
and
shocking the complacency
of the pure race
apartheid pets
of
the pride afflicted
domination addicted
whack-a-mole hammer against
other peoples' independence.

*

projection artistes extraordinaire,
smitten by a resolute
dearth
of
reflection,

even the horror sprung from their relentless horror,

will likely not awaken them
to
their own culpability.

*

and so they'll just go on,

voting for their
             memory hole pocked
          equality mocked
       profit-bidden
    delusion-ridden
"democracy"

to snuff resistance out.

*

  1. It's perfect 💛
    the world is such a dark place at this moment, this is like a disinfecting ray of sunshine.
    I'm basking my soul in it.
