(Written in 2014 after the US sponsored Maidan ‘regime change’ coup):
Now in Eastern Ukraine:
In Donetsk & Luhansk oblast
indiscriminate shellings
Western media not aghast
though hit hospitals, dwellings:
Local life & culture defaced
while thousands killed, millions displaced
Soon again in the Gaza Strip:
Time again. It is a
‘mowing of the lawn’
in defenseless Gaza
by IOF ‘brawn’
Like Freedom & Democracy inflicted on Iraq:
When phosphorus, uranium depleted
obliterated ancient Fallujah
by U.S. Empire in war crimes conceited:
Once again Freedom spreads, Hallelujah!
Industrial slaughters by design
while the world looks the other way
Failing help from Providence Divine
hapless civilians the main prey

-Fallujah = dates from Babylonian times. White phosphorus bombs & depleted uranium shells were used by U.S., British & Iraqi forces under the command of General James Mattis in Nov 2004
-IOF = ‘IDF’ (Israel Defense Forces) a misnomer; rather the ‘IOF’ (Israel Occupying Forces)
-‘moving the lawn’ = Israeli policy phrase for the ‘degrading’ of Gaza every few years
