I vomit shit

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

at what I see

in the nightly news

The children's bodies

torn asunder



*here a leg, there a leg,
oops, there is the head.*

Oh, look! I see an arm!
Oh, look! I see a... well it's human.

We must be winning.

[GAPeace]

1. And many tell us not to speak out

To say that we must win elections, and to do that we can't possibly piss off the Israel lobbies.

I say I put my conscience above what's good for electoral politics. Eventually, one day, that might even be good for electoral politics too.

2. We must be.

What's our prize?

[Truthiness Inspector]

3. Any Hezbollah poems?

Or Hamas ones?

I suppose this poem could apply to them, but with intent.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

4. The intent was Hezbollah, Israeli and American.

I'm curious as to how you assigned it as you did?

Thanks in advance,

[Truthiness Inspector]

7. No assignation

Just wondering. You are talented; I think you would do a poem justice about intentionally endangering innocents, with the leader of said group vowing to kill all Jews (Nasrallah). I think many of us feel deeply the helplessness and hopelessness too.

10. Try this one then, please and let me know.

I am against war and needless killing. My words are only words. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1796738

8. Israel is doing most of the killing, is it not?

They have absolute military dominence.

Here's one for you:

they're rockets are like crackers
landing in the desert
nobody dies, and our buildings survive
but that's the narrative
we hear all the time
poor Israel, we suffer
But Lebanon is gone.

[Truthiness Inspector]

9. Well

Hezbollah is doing all of the hiding amongst civilians. Can you add that to your poem?

Let me ask you point blank: How do you know how many dead in Lebanon are innocents vs. Hezbollah? That is one of the other issues about which no poems are written, about possible inflation.

[Harper_is_Bush]

11. "Hezbollah is doing all of the hiding amongst civilians"

according to your sources.

Truth is the first victim of war, and Israel has done it's share of vicimizing.

To answer your question, there are plenty of media in Lebanon. The death count is surprisingly low given the widespread destruction. It's laughable that you'd question the reality of it. The reality is likely much higher, given that nobody knows where anybody is in Lebanon and so many buildings are collapsed.

Hezbollay lies, Israel is truth.
My senses know better
The pictures are proof.

[Truthiness Inspector]

14. You are twisting what I said, but you know that n/t

[Harper_is_Bush]

18. what did I twist? I quoted you directly.

Perhaps your loyalty to Israel has hindered your vision.

[Truthiness Inspector]

22. Touche

I should have said twisted/misunderstood my intent.

On edit: How do you know how many dead in Lebanon are innocents or Hezbollah?

[cherokeeprogressive]

20. "nobody dies"?

Are you sure you want to make that claim?

That's almost as funny as hearing that the rockets are like being "punched in the face" and Israel's response is killing the person doing the punching.

The UN Humanitarian Chief disagrees with you

[Harper_is_Bush]

21. That's poety. It's referring to a single bomb

Obviously some have dies from the Katusha (sp) rockets.

Thousands have fallen (as we're reminded everyday) and how many have died? 30?

5. "First thing we do is throw the old people down the well"

From a truncated speech I gave at the local High School.

Thet asked me to come talk to the kids (1970).

It didn't last long.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

6. LOL Reminds me of a piece I wrote for a 1970 School newspaper in Alabama

titled "Joseph and the Virgin Harry."

I was kicked out for that one and I wasn't even gay.

[Swamp Rat]

12. LOL!
