Narrative

Let’s commence with hell’s context,

beginning’s hard, life’s a-wretched,

dead come rushing, sooner expected,

man-made world, creator, destroyer,

liquid market, for corporate control,

Falastin transcribes, enormous dying,

pierce, penetrate, bloody and burning,

panicked vapors, foaming at mouth,

forced depart, chiseled in stone,

my visual broken, echo of thought,

appropriate passage, pleading words

Like dear children, belief in Santa,

continue uphold, ‘Israel, so moral!’

global crown, grotesque reality,

unconstrained, visual feast,

merry making, explode rich red,

most inspired, version of hell,

sheer number of bodies, herd together,

packed in tight, out of fear,

demons in charge, sweltering heat,

never-ending, catastrophe still!

gambling lives, cut our throat,

piercing heart, impale against rock,

grow so tired, heart beats break,

lips so wet, flurry sad tears,

live in land, sponsor our slaughter,

forced to die, inside, so quiet,

not offend, disturb them with,

when will you notice?

they’re humans dying,

our darkest hours,

no escape,

torment cycle,

vessel vice,

America, Israel,

embrace, large pigs,

demons sitting,

high white chairs,

represent tantrums,

false in hate
