Human Rights (Remove filter)
an-Nakbah 1948-2023
Just to make myself perfectly clear from:

"To be a Jew means always being with the oppressed, never with the oppressors.”
Marek Edelman – last surviving leader, Warsaw ghetto uprising.
By way of contrast, this from Ntanyahu: “Israel is not a state of all its citizens… [but rather] the nation-state of the Jewish people and only them”. Israel...

Freedom of movement
While out borders are closing, they violate human rights in full. The European freedom of movement is now violated, we are locked in our countries.

The Peoples Song
Come let us sing the peoples song,
We'll chant it as we march along.
A new world order has come in,
So people, Dance and sing.
So people, Dance and sing.
Wave your banners against the skies.
Shout slogans that mesmerize.
The people are one!
The people want fun!
They want someone to idolize.
They want someone to idolize.
When the peoples choice ...

Human Writes, A Poem About Protecting Human Rights
You spit "Nay"
in our "Ayes"
to express
your oppress-
sive nature.
Nothing new-
old tea brewed;
spring cleaning-
first inning.
Soul-less laws
abolish
human rights,
to sell slaves.
Bordered walls
paved with blood-
stained bodies,
buried below.

I address to the garverment of my country
You, morons, with the wood brain,
Sawdust your heads contain,
Listen to me, you damn bloody fools,
Lift your asses from the stools!

Grow fruitful seeds!
Moderate your own greed!
Find out what people need!
Feed the children and old men!
Heal the children from cancer and then
Build the roads and give the gas!
I want my country to be superclass.

The human race
The world has become more fluid.
So many sources flowing out at the top of each mountain
Streaming down the gullies,
babbling brook,
to scuttling stream,
to rambling river,
out onto the delta,
Into the ocean.
Everything mixed and turned,
rolled and crushed
Whirlpool and flood,
tsunami and tidal.
It all takes place on this earth
and we all learn to live it, t...

RIGHT OF THE UNCONCEIVED
Consider all the unconceived, they neither toil nor spin
Till called upon by selfish act of grossly unoriginal sin.
You read those lines and smile, perhaps, at whimsy’s gentle play
But Human Rights’ first law should be: ALL life may life gainsay.
By inference those who have reached cognized fertility
Should bow before the unconceived – the being yet to be.
