Flying a Kite Above and Beyond the Villa by michael hall

Flying in the wind

Like a scrap of paper in the wind
The Goldstone report flaps sickly like a tattered kite

It was supposed to swoop over the UN

But it was shot full of holes and black ravens tore it to shreds

At the Villa in the Jungle

sadists and war criminals giggle in glee

for another victory is under their belt

War crimes are washed once again to the dead sea



obama sits glumly in the white house within the shining city on the hill

stammering and unsure like chamberlin, for he was not worshipped and appeased as before

his hands tied by AIPAC and he wouldn't dare mention the words;sanctions or punishment

with egg on his face the emperor has no clothes and so he shuffles back behind the iron gates



Hanthala raises his fist at the iniquity and outrage at the scream of the silence of complicity from Arab 'brothers'

Business is business and power struggles are more important than war crimes and a common enemy

Adalah is that kite in the hurricane wind

Cowards wearing keffiyeh's as a fashion statement and in 'solidarity' for the plight of the Palestinian



But lo and behold

we do have chutzpah

a Libyan prince has stepped up on the stage

a tiny voice barely heard above the hypocritical din; "Let us hear this Goldstone Report" Qaddafi cries



So new breath of life will keep tinker bell alive

and resurrection from the grave will strengthen the voice i pray

For the Genocide on Gaza was a Nanjing, a Dresden, a Pearl Harbor

and for those who commit such horrific crimes must pay the fiddler on the hot tin roof



Israel bombed a closed prison it created without remorse,mercy,justification, morality or conscience

As it punished those who refuse to live like cowed collective prisoners and for voting in a free election

and America this calls for you too in this dirty atrocity for responsibility

For you armed these blitzkrieging stormtroopers and sold them your best for this butchery

Flying in the wind

The Goldstone Report soars to the UN

free and unshackled, its truth must be heard in every court in the land, on every tv, on the lips of every voice everywhere

For if we are to have laws, then all must be accountable, not just the chosen few who try to cover the crimes with a carpet lumpy with lies

No one, no country, no superpower, can be above the law for if we have law then all must abide
