The Burning of Paper
In My Name

Already they are saying that your blood reached the shores of Gaza before your aid.
Yes, you are dead now, along with many Palestinians.
Ben-Gurion wanted to save Israel, Jewish children be damned!
As far as I can see, he saved no one, as Israelis walk the streets fearful of retaliation.

Is this why we fought in the Warsaw Ghetto with what weapons we could find?
My ancestors turn and turn and turn and say
Nu, what did you think came out of a gun?
Peace?

Your blood reached the shores of Gaza before your aid.
Every sea that touches Israel has become a Red Sea
just as Auschwitz became red forsaken land.
If you listen closely you can hear the wailing of the ancestors:

The Jews, the homosexuals, the uniquely abled, the indigenous,
begging us to live with dignity so that they did not die in vain.
Blood reached the shores of Gaza decades before your aid
We must fight hard to turn this tide: our lives depend on it.
