The Halloween Intifada
Your 41 years of life weren’t a waste
Karma man — they live in me now
41 years of revolved earth, 71 years of horror
You live in me now
Through Naila and her uprising
Through your stupid mask
And bloody supreme justice
Through your brother’s angry tweets
“I dont want to coexist!”
he says
Cause he don’t wanna wave to Bobby The Good Ol’ Boy
from a
Separate water fountain
Doesn’t wanna “break bread” with Will and his
White Hood under his Dress Blues
Rebel to the Rebel Flag!
No settling with no “settlers”
Not DTF with Brandon and his IDF
Okay, okay, I get it now
I can step right the fuck off with my “logic”
Don’t think so emotionally, man
Temper yourself with some logic, man
“Logic” was Nakba Day?
“Logic” is a prison — with invisible cages?
So I get why
You’ll trade “their” salad for
Hummus with Hamas
I get why
You hate these United States of Apartheid lovers
Hey man, I truly get that too
Shit I’m heading to Asia-Pacific — aka APAC as they
Fawn here over AIPAC
Rocks, paper, tanks — (they) shoot!
Jesus, dude
King of the Syrian Jews
I’m so fucking sorry
I translated your pain into emojis
I guess I’ll just have to resist with you
…from afar
Trashing my parent’s Ahava
#StandingwithIlhan
Following Rashida
Debating against Western supremacy
Mediuming tall
Right then.
We
Started Halloween night
Ended Halloween night
Started with the 2nd intifada
Ended with…God. I don’t even know.
I….I fucked this up.
Tortured by injustice now
You taught me everything I know
Incivility
Solidarity
Systems of oppression
And the fight against
No Oliver Twist shit
“Please sir, may I have some freedom, sir?”
No you were my
Coder Bobby Sands
71 years of horror
41 years of unabashed resistance
And one day you will win
And return
‘Till then, thank you….
For everything
From the river to the sea,
Green red white & black
Live within me
