Simoleons and Shekels
Oh where oh where is the pro-life lament
in solidarity to Gaza grief
from the reflex munition leitmotif
so ethno-nationally heaven sent
to banefully fall from the Zion sky
so kosher can care for Israeli moms
by making more room with David Star bombs,
often as not from Pentagon supply
where inventory makes the dollars fly,
and soon by suitable escalation,
promotes the denizen decimation
ensuring that the sacred troops don't die;
valued now more than the woman and kid
who don't quo the pro with near enough quid.

That's a cracking last line to an excellent sonnet, Midnight. 👍 It's only a shame that it all so sadly true. ☹️

Great timing as I just finished reading your comment in the Biden Bash thread.
Yeah, the middle east has always been such a horrendous cock up, but I think the Israelis have definitely taken all their military cues from the U.S. and the worst cue to take in recent times has been from the post 9/11 blanket hero worship of anyone in uniform over any civilian, kind of like that depicted in STARSHIP TROOPERS.
BTW...best of luck to you in the twisted sonnet comp;
that's a cracking good entry you have there!
