another grim Sunday

(nay, verily not a poem,
more a
            foamed up
   "news" retort

psalmed out of the scarlet loam.
)

*

another grim Sunday

visited on Gaza
by
our Lord Satan's minions

(who call themselves "Israelis.")

at least 17 murders,

one of the highest
daily death tolls
in months,

as the IDF
"escalated its attacks"

despite yet another
"disarmament" plan

bandied about
by
the lumpen s'Trump'et.

*

multiple children
were among the victims

'American' tax dollars toted up,

including Azzam Abu Taif,
a five-year-old
barely opened gift,

killed alongside
his father
and his pregnant mother

by a "strike"
on a residential building
in Gaza City

(a war crime,
had it been done
by the Nazis the West emulates,

or, say,
those unpeopled "Russhins"
the "daddy" clinging
monger clanging

("last Ukrainian"
grave digging
)

genocide abiding,
aiding and abetting

democracy banning
Armageddon fanning

"Europeans"

so desperately want to rub out.)

*

there was also a young couple
and their young daughter,

murdered in their
sleeping apartment
in
Khan Younis.

and another
precious little one

already reduced to tatters

forever silenced
by
a drone attack

on a fragile tent in Gaza’s City’s
western Remal neighborhood.

*

justice;

another concept thwarted
by
the inventors of 'whiteness',

who prey on "others"

in the
         pride sliding
                              soulless tiding

("good" and "bad" subdividing)

revenge caved by Hollywood rave,

profits of "democracy"
paved

(responsibility shaved)

man's inhumanity staved

AI limbed
as
conscience dimmed

venom stemmed
that
grimly trimmed

(eternal infernal)

service of 'self.'
