RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: ISRAEL AT WAR
Bebe’s War
It is not the thing itself
It’s the timing of the thing itself
With the Middle East ready to explode
With a ceasefire in negotiations
With a growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza
With Hezbollah firing rockets from Lebanon
Netanyahu orders a strike in Tehran
Inviting a broader war
A war engaging the world’s powers
Israel has a right to defend herself
Israel has a right to kill those responsible
For the October 7th attack
Targeted assassination was the proper
Response to the assault
But to wait until Gaza is decimated
To wait until tens of thousands are dead
Homes, schools, hospitals destroyed
To wait for mass starvation
Netanyahu has left us no doubt
This war will go on and on
As long as he is still in power
This is Bebe’s war
And Bebe’s war has no end
