Imperatives

by Robert A. Davies / December 6th, 2015

It is imperative that we send billions
for Israeli tanks and missiles
to meet the threat
of youths with rocks and slingshots

Billions for settlements
on land belonging to others,
for cluster bombs to dump
on the Ghaza ghetto.

Billions to tell
how a fear filled country
can turn man into monster.
Holocaust never again.
