PULL THE PLUG
I say:
Pull the plug
On Israel
Before she
Pulls the plug
On us!
|
Caught in
Tit-for-tat struggle
Of Biblical proportions
never ending
ever expanding
eye for an eye
tooth for a tooth
"You strike me once,
I strike you twice!"
|
A horrible chain reaction
That will bring
The end
Of the world.
|
And whose
Idea was
Israel
To begin with?
To put
A bunch of
Displaced Jews
On
Stolen land
Surrounded by
Angry Arabs?
|
Yes
The Brits
Took a
Sword
To the
Map
And carved
Countries
Out of the
Endless stretches
Of nomadic
Sands
|
Yes
They carved up
The Middle East
And told
Wandering
Arab tribes
Whose land
Was whose
And then
They established
The oil industry
There
And . .
|
Making you
Wonder
If . .
it
was all about
oil
to begin with?
|
Is that why
We put Israel
There?
|
So
They could steal
More land
For themselves
And
Create
More angry Arabs
And
More blood feuds
That will outlast
Us all
Unless
They kill us
First
|
And
We could
Support all this
To ease
Our own
Guilt
Over
Letting the
Nazis
Eradicate
Half their
Race
|
Sending how many . .
Sigmund Freuds
Albert Einsteins
Elie Wiesels
Marx Brothers
Al Jolsons
Aaron Coplands
Irving Berlins
Benny Goodmans
Isaac Sterns
&
Allen Ginsbergs
|
Up in smoke?
How might
The world
Be different
Today?
How much better
Might it be?
|
But
Maybe
It was really
About
Having a
Bought-and-paid-for
Ally
Amongst
All those
Volatile Arabs
Who control
All that
Oil
|
The only
Answer
The Israelis
Give you
When you ask them
"Why all the bloodshed?"
Is . .
they did
such-and-such
to us!
|
|
Well . .
such-and-such
and
such-and-such
goes all the way back
|
To Christ
And
Christ
Didn't preach . .
eye for an eye
tooth for a tooth
|
But . .
Because . .
He
knew
where
revenge
takes
the
world
|
It ends it.
|
So
We send
Good blood
After
Bad blood
With no
End in sight
|
And the . .
musicians
composers
writers
poets
mathematicians
scientists
doctors
|
In Israel
Are locked in
Mortal struggle
To protect their
Fabricated homeland
Not knowing where . .
the next bomb
the next suicide bomber
the next Arab uprising
the next Scud missile
|
Will explode
Or when it might
Kill them all
|
So I say:
Pull the plug!
Yes
Pull the plug
On . .
this endless battle
this territorial grab
this military meltdown
this bloody nightmare
this genocide
this shooting children
this holy war
this holocaust
|
That's turned
Artists and geniuses
Into
COMMANDOS
|
Stop sending them
Our billions
To fund their
Slaughter
I say:
Pull the plug
On their
Sandbox war!
|
Let them turn
Their bullets
Into pens
And
Their blood
Into ink
And
Their suffering
Into art
|
Evacuate
Those who
Can make
The world
A better place
Set them loose in . .
Paris
Vienna
London
Rome
Stockholm
Tokyo
New York
|
The great cities
Of the world
|
So they can . .
make music
compose symphonies
pen novels
create poetry
solve theorems
invent things
save lives
|
Instead of
Taking them.
|
Yes
Redeploy the Jews!
Free them
From this
Tit-for-tat
Rat-a-tat
That goes
Until it
Brings an end
To the world
|
Free them . .
to help us
to raise us up
to transcend
our savagery
|
Not succumb to it
And descend into
The bloody muck of
REVENGE
|
I say:
Pull the plug
On Israel
Before she
Pulls the plug
On us!
