A Most Familiar Drama – A Poem

By Soraya Boyd

Aided and abetted by its coalition of the willing
Plundering Israel tears a thirst-deprived people and its parched land asunder
Under the auspices of its American heel
Raiding Israel steals away every last of drop of water
Aided and abetted by its coalition of the willing
Steadfastly Israel polishes its shameful democratic veneer
Under the auspices of its American heel
Unremitting Israel progresses its illegal apartheid tier

Aided and abetted by its coalition of the willing
Genocidal Israel robs young babes of their lives to be
Under the auspices of its American heel
Soul blood-stained Israel proclaims unabashed victory
Aided and abetted by its coalition of the willing
Riotous Israel addictively basks in its infinite folly
Under the auspices of its American heel
Unaccountable Israel acts with obdurate impunity

Aided and abetted by its coalition of the willing
Upon a besieged population, murderous Israel unleashes unspeakable hell
Under the auspices of its American heel
Under homicidal Israel’s deeds many innocent fell
Aided and abetted by its coalition of the willing
Sanguine Israel scars the sorrowed land with its barbarity
Under the auspices of its American heel
Unyielding Israel commits war crimes and crimes against humanity

Aided and abetted by its coalition of the willing
Quarrelsome Israel rains down indiscriminate death from the sky
Under the auspices of its American heel
Wild Israel never blinks its plotting fatality watchful eye
Aided and abetted by its coalition of the willing
Rowdy Israel spreads about unrestrained terror
Under the auspices of its American heel
Belligerent Israel commits most violent murder
