The Golden Rule in Israel, Iraq, London & D.C.

The Golden Rule in Israel, Iraq, London & Washington


By Genevieve Cora Fraser

Darker skinned people beware
Israeli Offensive Forces spray
Bullets into crowds of women
Children and the elderly
In Rafah in Gaza
In Iraq
US-UK Coalition Troops
Lay waste
Plunder and destroy
An ancient civilization
To build The New World
Disorder
The die
Is cast an evil eye
Penetrates as the dust settles
On the still life
Of death following a rocket
Attack pay back is a bitch
Bombs burst in subways
Marketplaces busses to attack
Or hold back is the question
Bursting within the brains
Of some among us
In Iraq, in Afghanistan
South America
Wherever it wants
The Free World
Foments upheaval
To exploit
Labor
Steal resources
Assailed on all sides by white
Supremacists holding the cross
Of salvation
As a battering ram
To break down
The fabric of life
Plough fields of despair
Landmines of opportunity
Await those who are not us
The great adventure into the unknown
Abyss when those who
Would be king rule over
All who are beneath their contempt
Lost in fantasies of White
Makes Right cloaked in the garb
Of the righteous
Jews, Christians, heathens all
Assign blame
Unable to cast the speck
Out of thine own eye
Ye Hypocrites
Chase down the illegal
Alien desperate for work
Your governments
Acting on behalf of
Your corporations
Rape and rob
Their economies
Steal their lands, their rights
Leave them destitute
Chase them down like animals
Pursue a policy of lethal
Injection of bullets
Administered
Directly
Into the skulls
Of those you fear
Blowback has caught you
Unprepared to have others
Do unto you
As you have
Done unto them

ENDS
