RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: ISRAEL AT WAR
Extermination (Rafah)
And so it begins
The final assault
Extermination of the enemy
The bombardment of the last stronghold
The laying of waste
They were cornered here like vermin
Pushed and herded here like goats
Here it ends
Here amidst the rubble of a once great city
Here in this landscape of destruction
Where mothers once gathered to gossip
While their children played
Where men followed footsteps to work
Where kids walked to school
Impoverished but not poor
Who but god and Netanyahu knew
That this would be the end …
But it is not the end
It is only another beginning
In the endless cycle of revenge
