Peace And Security -- But Not For Thee

Members of the United Nations General Assembly vote on a resolution at the resumed 10th Emergency Special Session meeting on the situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

It is a morbid infection that festers silently within

the dank, darkly mysterious recesses of the human mind

with no shelf life for it is timeless and persistent

waiting, lurking for the moment of its release

when the dam of hatred bursts its restraining banks

to freely roam among hordes of similarly infected

overwhelming streets and byways, public institutions

governments, society, the professions and academia

to loudly proclaim its proud presence to damn

the ancient people so long its target yet never quite

prepared to counter the malign effervescence of

its arousal following random intervals of serene

disbelief its recrudescence would erupt once again to

torment, humiliate, oppress and threaten their very

existence. But it will and it does and it will never

in anyone's lifetime not recur for its target remains

defiant to that very special hatred it draws by virtue

of its very existence. Europe had its opportunity to

eradicate the presence of Jews, now the pendulum

strikes the hour that the world in its entirety grasps 

the deadly cudgel of extermination led by the very

stalwarts seated in the United Nations for whom

peace and human rights are of uppermost concern

yet not applicable to those accused of defending

themselves against ardent haters hoping to overwhelm

their defences, demanding it perish uncomplainingly.
