AI Trump Gaza

by Peter F. Crowley / April 20th, 2025

A Vegas on the water
The fat bellies of a war criminal
and a multi felon lounge on the beach,
while the richest person in the world
indulges in “local” food

But, after being dispossessed of their land in ’48,
stuck in an outdoor prison and
genocided into near oblivion,
the locals have been eradicated

The reward for such fortitude in the face of suffering?
A trail of tears
and a lavish Trump Gaza
reserved only for the ultra-rich
