“ I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.”

(Genesis 6:13)

Chutzpah

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 13:26:42 +0000

What could it do

To a people to learn

So many family members

Were beaten and burned?

Humiliated,

Massacred and

Hounded

From home.

Across countries,

Centuries.

Culled in crusades,

Murdered by Catholics

In Castille, Seville, Aragon

Who preached a ‘universal’ spirit

Of hatred of other faiths, other people

Exodus

What promise

Was forgotten or broken

To make us so

Forsaken?

Surely there is

A purpose to

This wild suffering

Our abandonment

Did we

Choose this

Freely?

Our wanderlust

To wander lost

In wilderness

My Lord!

Give us a holy fire

To warm

Our hearts

If This Is A Man

We questioned him hard,

hammered him

watched him break into a thousand pieces and

shards.

Then he gave us what we wanted.

He begged and cried.

that’s one of their tricks to try to make us stop,

nice try!!

We warned them all, fuck around and find out.

Korban

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 13:26:42 +0000

Another day

Wrestling with God

Nothing is forgiven

Someone has to pay

Something must be given

Unholy offering

There is no promised land

Fragrant with the fruits of compassion

You, who will not paint the houses

With the blood of your cousins,

Deserve to enter

Mantle

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 13:26:42 +0000

Each day we watch

Astonished

As you grow in strength

Into your blood feathers

Terrifying juvenile

Your prayers are for prey

All you see is your suffering

Everything not you

Must be sacrificed, slew

Awed

As you spread your wings

Covering part of the world

Mensch & Meat

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 13:26:42 +0000

We gave bloody battle

Then violent death

To the meat

Filthy dogs

Dared bite the hand

That feeds

Vile vermin

That keeps forgetting

To be forgotten

Insisting on their history

Their suffering

Deserving annihilation

We forced them off

So this land could flower

Under our fair hand

The Masters

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 13:26:42 +0000

Is there a bright line

That separates

Indifference and contempt

From the darker

Urge to exterminate?

Surely it is a journey of a thousand steps…

That leads over the

Mountains of Deceit

Down through the

Gorge of Avarice

Passing the

Plains of

Ignorance and thence

The Witching Hour

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 13:26:42 +0000

Who will watch the

Unwatched

Time

When seconds

Smear

And the day

Slowly tears

Leaking out

Listen carefully

And you might hear:

The stripling spirits

Suspire

As the freighted minutes

Calve and collapse

Into the viscous

Liquid hour

A waiting baiting time

For law abiding

Twenty To One

“The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must. "

(Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War, circa 431 B.C.E)

…They killed twenty

Poles

(women and children)

Piled their bodies up

Right on that very same spot

Where we had knifed
