The Censure of Rashida Tlaib

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: ISRAEL & PALESTINE

 

The Censure of Rashida Tlaib

 

A curse on both your houses

How dare you use my name

To censure an honest colleague

For not bowing down in shame

 

She spoke her solemn truth

Though you may not like her tone

Few in congress will back her

But her beliefs are not alone

 

She speaks for those who have no voice

She speaks for those you do not hear

Though they are dying by the thousands

You refuse to shed a tear

 

Yes we cry for all of Israel

Should we not cry for Palestine too?

We will not cry for Hamas

Nor will we cry for Netanyahu

 

She speaks out against genocide

No matter what else you’ve heard

I you want to end the endless horror

You should take her at her word
