On The Occasion of Benjamin Netanyahu Quoting Dylan Thomas

Don’t tell me that you fight a righteous fight
How many children have you killed today
I’ll give you rage. I’ll give you rage alright

Your anger and your ego burning bright
Are razing all that’s standing in your way
Don’t tell me that you fight a righteous fight

How many have you sent into the light
Before they even had the time to pray
I’ll give you rage. I’ll give you rage alright

How many have you saved or sent in spite
Up to the sky in ashen clouds of grey
Don’t tell me that you fight a righteous fight

In clouds as those who in the fog and night
Were put in trains and disappeared away
I’ll give you rage. I’ll give you rage alright

You speak as if your soul was white as white
Yet deep inside you darkness holds its sway
Don’t tell me that you fight a righteous fight
I’ll give you rage. I’ll give you rage alright

  1. Oh how true Gail… Thank you so much for speaking for us all! I would love to see your poem in large print on the front page of the Times! As always, Paul.

  2. So effectively captures the Zionist heart of this man. He clings on as prime minister of a violent, racist state by killing 10s of thousands of children. That’s Zionism. Dylan Thomas, whose house I used to walk passed on my way to college, would condemn this affront of using his work.
