Israeli Violent Storms Strike Palestine

By Genevieve Cora Fraser

 June 25, 2004

An ill wind blew

From Washington

To Tel Aviv today

Bringing power

Lines down

In lock-step

Collapsed

Universal

Rights

To Return

DeLay’s bill

Spun around

Like a micro

Blast passed

The House

Recognized

Jewish rights

To return

To a place

They never

Were but left

Native Palestinians

Blown away

Strewn about

The Roadblocks

On the Road Map

Up against the Wall

Slammed into the rubble

Of a Concentration

Camp existence

Stormed

By Israeli troops

Lightning swift

Raids whisked barefoot girls

In pajamas away

In Nablus

For interment

Torture and abuse

Fathers blown away

By snipers boys

Pelted with hail

Of bullets mother’s

Mourn arrested

In their tracks

As American

Made and paid

For fighter jets

And helicopter

Gunships streak

And blacken

Peaceful

Palestinian

Skies sudden

Bursts of thunder

Explode and roar

As lightning

Swift vengeance

Strikes the People

And Place

Zionists deny

Exists and

Americans

Are trained

By Jewish Media

Smokescreens

To ignore
