“Planet Palestine (Sonnet 1503)

Whole world is my promised land,
Which part will you invade!
When the entire planet is Palestine,
It is Israel that will fade.

Gone are the days of unchallenged tyranny,
Gone are the days of exploiting native trust.
In the past you got away with many Rushmores;
Try it today, you'll end up another Liz Truss.

You can have your puny guns and bombs,
I have an arsenal far mightier than thee.
Colonial apes may fund your homicidalism,
I have the entire humankind backing me.

When governments are on one side,
and humankind on the other,
that's the first sign of democracy,
and curtain call for the occupier.

We the people promise our planet to Palestine.
What'll you do now - call us all anti-semite!”
