To The Comfortably-Numbed,

Petit Bourgeoisie:

“No Business As Usual During Genocide” — or — FASCISM!

15,000

no 30,000

Palestinian children, were murdered, not “died”

in seven, nineteen, months’ time.

300,000 — or more in Gaza on threshold of death by intentional starvation with consent of The West

you flaunt your epicurean life

while the workers and students and poets
and artists, all,
groundswell, to resist this violent, white tide,

// of the IDF

home and abroad,

training ICE

& your local SWAT precinct,

to disappear and deport //

and crucially, to liberate you — of the occupier & cop — living in your mind.

---

this is in fact,

the marketplace of one [1] singular idea:

Land.

Land, which is the only Capital.

Bodies are Land,

&

Land is Bodies

living and dead,

yet you assume that your pale, soft body cannot be colonized — that they will never, that they cannot ever,

plant their boot or flag upon your dull, americanned skin?

your cognitive dissonance & cowarded silence will not save you.

oh, you forgot; oh, you wanted to forget

you wanted to run with The Wolfs,
not, the wolves;

you forgot your sole “Succession” story was dependent on life on Earth for your human animal descendants;

but you wanted to accrue and assimilate, and when questioned about it, to point your dirtied finger — to incriminate;

and still, you like to imagine you might’ve harbored Harriet Tubman, Anne Frank — or Mahmoud Khalil,

yet you forget about May Day,

mayday, mayday, mayday: do you read?

there are miners, mechanics, medics,

welders, farmers, nurses,

Parsons, Goldmans, Luigis, & Dorners,

marksmen, carpenters, and bladesmiths, among us,

but what useless,

“work” are you known for ?

in the End.
