A Poetic Tribute to Sheik Ahmet Yassin
From Jihad Unspun
Crushed Emotions: A Tribute To Sheik Ahmed Yassin
A poem by Albert M. Jabara
Roses are red, violets are blue
Oâ Death! This poem is for you.
George W. Bush and Ariel Sharon
Have more guts than you.
Young soldiers, Israelis and Americans
Dethroned you in Palestine;
Wiped you out in Iraq;
Crushed you in Afghanistan.
Which is more than I can stand!
Return lives
Taken without your command
And throw their killers in hell.
Show compassion and love!
You joined Sharon and AshcroftâŠ
You fell in love with CondoleezzaâŠ
By the shores of Gitche Gumee
By the shining Big-Sea Water
You were tricked with Colinâs charmâŠ
That old black magic Rumsfeld cast his spell on youâŠ
Young Bush pushed you aroundâŠ
You didnât even fight back.
What kind of Death are you?
Be ye proud?
Look at brains crushed
Inside stiff sculls;
They donât bleed.
They throb; they pulse.
They resurrect.
Look at hearts drop to bellies
Looking for exit
To leave tormented bodies
Sprayed with bullets.
The dying is refusing to die
Under U.S. or Israeli Decree.
And poems are made by fools like me
You stand by and do nothing!
God gave you a mission
To be wise and just.
You violated
Your Lordâs laws.
Dignity Rapists
Rape entire nations;
They donât allow prayer
Over the dead.
Itâs time you disowned
Your black rope, Kafiah and Cane.
Jeans and cowboy hat,
Boots and U.S. flag--
Is a better outfit for you.
Young George wonât argue with that.
This too rules you out as a terrorist.
Arabs hide behind U.S. diplomats
Totally naked
To prove theyâre not terrorists.
Is it possible, you joined the killers
To prove, you too are not, a terrorist?
Save your joy and laughter:
Invading ships will sink
By force of sea Mammals.
I must go down to the seas again
Invading soldiers will perish
By a lightening strike.
Fighter planes, tanks
And rocket launchers
Will remain parked
Until rust eats them.
Only this and nothing more.
The Middle East will earth back
To China, its natural Mother
With a promise not to return
To Arabia ever again.
Quoth the raven: Nevermore!
