This was bound to happen, how can one stand this
So much bloodshed and fear, their homes they must miss
The American army, cannot handle Iraq no more
They have to find the way out, the exit door
These soldiers were frustrated, yes they were
But remember it isn’t really their fault, sir
Just now, one soldier killed five of his friends
It might be hard to understand, let us take out our analytical lens
Being in a country, where anything can happen, anytime
You are not clear about your enemy, it’s not like lemon or lime
Streets blow up without warning, people with no uniform kill
They can train all they want, but for this there is no drill
They should bring all these people back
They should put everyone, in a sack
These soldiers are also humans, they can’t take it no more
They should be safe, even if America doesn’t get a ‘score’|

Here’s a poem I wrote on 9 January 2009. It is a reply to your pome remembering the killing of “friendly fire”. All soldiers are killers and they all accept death or worse as part of the job that goes with the territory. The Roman Empire lasted a couple thousand years longer than the American Empire. Bush is merely a symbol of the power and establishment that is the USA Corporation. Hitler/Stalin lives on. God rest ye merry gentlemen!
Plan D(*) or D Day
Once upon a midday flurry
Sands of time and chin so hairy
Grab a haircut Delilah Blue.
Came the angel, wouldn’t you?
Borne of air the dove of drone,
Come to roost, bootleg and hone.
Whistle and sizzle the babies you fizzle
And burn the hearts that peace condone.
Only the peaceful dream of it calmer.
Come O Sampson , ye suicide bomber.
Sword so evil, sword so merry.
Why all of a sudden quite contrary?
Nab us Barabbas for he’s just a crook
Nablus or Annapolis, it’s all just a jerk.
Push on a column, lay low the stone
We all want to die and be finished with work.
When we kill all for a fuck
or better still a fucking buck
We need to remember the 6th of June
For that was when the boys couldn’t duck.
For mankind to recover we get upholstery leather
Dry cleaning and lubricant KY preserves,
Tomatoes in the basement plus cheese in reserves.
All make a salad fresh and together.
It’s too vague in the Hague to bring Israel to book.
So let’s all kill Hamas instead of a schtup.
They’re not human beings or so it is said
We rather exterminate them all instead.
Aye, thanks for the rub and the excuses so clever
But no one believes you, you fish-fucking lover.
It’s all from you that we became learnt
Yad Vashem the completely burnt.
*General Eisenhour adamanently specified that the youngest, greenest most inexperienced soldiers be made to head the first wave of the Normandy landings on June 6 1944, knowing that they would, in all their ignorance and lack of knowledge and experience of death, not hesitate. The World War 2 event that was the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany is more well-known than Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion’s “Plan D”. Plan D resulted in the murderous depopulation of 369 Palestinian towns and villages by the Haganah (Jewish army) and the massacre upon massacre of Palestinian civilians in such places as Deir Yassin, al-Dawayima, Eilaboun, Jish, Ramle and Lydda, referred to in official records as “ethnic cleansing”. At the scene of this carnage, General Yigal Allon asked Ben-Gurion: “What shall we do with the Arabs?” To which Ben Gurion “made a dismissive, energetic gesture with his hand and said, ‘Expel them’.” (as reported by the Israeli historian Benny Morris), It was a future prime minister, Yitzak Rabin (later promoted as a peacemaker), who signed the order to expel the entire population “without attention to age”. Plan D is now “Operation Cast Lead”, which is the unfinished prime minister Ariel Sharon’s “Operation Justified Vengeance” of 2001, behind which is the “Dagan Plan”, named after General Meir Dagan, now head of Mossad, which is the “solution” that turned into a concentration camp to imprison the Palestinians. Dagan’s achievement is the quisling government in Ramallah under Mohammed Abbas, together with a hasbara (propaganda) campaign relayed through the supinely intimidated western media in America, that says Hamas (the Arab world’s only democratically and fairly elected government who successfully foiled a CIA coup in 2007) is a terrorist organization devoted to the destruction of Israel and to “blame” long before it’s creation, the siege and massacres of it’s own people over two generations. To label Gaza as a “concentration camp” (January 8, 2009 in an interview in Italy’s Il Sussidiario website: “Defenseless populations are always the ones who pay. Look at the conditions in Gaza: more and more, it resembles a big concentration camp. Violence wherever it comes from must be condemned.” going on to condemn Hamas rocket attacks and the right of Israel to defend itself) is not the only comment by the current (2009) Catholic Pope’s aid, Cardinal Renato Martino, who heads the Vatican’s Council for Justice and Peace. A Jewish American writer on Palestine, Dr. Dahlia Wasfi wrote on New Year’s Eve 2008 “Holocaust denial is anti-Semitic. But I’m not talking about World War Two, Mahmoud Ahmedinijad (the president of Iran) or Ashkenazi Jews. What I’m referring to is the holocaust we are all witnessing and responsible for in Gaza today and in Palestine over the past 60 years … Since Arabs are Semites, US-Israeli policy doesn’t get more anti-Semitic than this.” Rachel Corrie, the young American who went to Palestine to defend Palestinians and was crushed by an Israeli bulldozer wrote: “I am in the midst of a genocide which I am also indirectly supporting and for which my government is largely responsible.”
The biblical character, Sampson, inhabited the Palestinian city of Tinmath, where Joshua was buried.
