Shelter from the Storm

Come in, I’ll give you shelter from the storm
Airbnb selling the spoils of Israeli settler-colonialism
Where an Arab family once lived, in the occupied West Bank
Under the Star of David, embossed U.S. F-35s are bombing the Gaza Strip
Stukas of WWII, leaving holes, where apartment buildings exist
Arab families lived, hospitals operated, schools educated 
Palestinians sought these shelters, from the genocide taking place
Zionism has won the Arab-Israeli war, yet Palestinians still exist
With the memories of their dead, buried beneath the rubble, a child’s comb
No more, this event is all so unreal, so much life, history, blown into no more
It’s hard to believe, is it really you, the nation-state of the Jews
Apartheid-Israel, you no longer hide, murders now for all the world to know
You who suffered so much, at the hands of Nazis, racist gentile clerks
To become a mass murderer, and now here comes my Executioner
A new law in his hands, passed by the Israeli Knesset 11 May 2026
Even though my 90 days are not up, I will face the gallows today and hang
For fighting the occupiers of my people and land.
Come in, I’ll give you shelter from the storm
