brat
one hundred dead as
another hospital bombed
new charli it's the same one
hundred troops deployed
journalist lights his arm on fire
it's brat but completely different but also still
more megatons than Hiroshima
prisoners left behind as the hurricane
two for one popcorn chicken
buy one get one tents set aflame
behind the scenes of our product photoshoot
it's always night
and I frequently feel like I don't
exist
like tornado warning no
power for ten days abandoned
militias hunting FEMA workers
in the floodplains drone
shot down over the oil fields
we're raising money for medical bills
we're raising money for insulin
we're raising money for flood damage
to clear the black mold and the insurance company won't
we're raising money to rebuild
we're raising money to repair
we're raising money for aftercare
we're raising money for our programs
we're raising money to relocate
we're raising money to feed the students we're raising money
to replace the pipes we're raising money to send
while they try to flee the Gaza strip

Israel is burning Palestinians alive again.
Here is a spray painted sidewalk that says FREE GAZA
Here is a spray painted sign that says FREE PALESTINE
Here is a billboard that says FUCK ISRAEL
Here is a spray painted wall that says
ACAB
Here is a hand painted cardboard placard that says
FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA
I have to remind myself I'm not alone
in the miasma
we're in a bad place
we're in a pickle
in a rock place
in a hard stop
the bombardment does not stop
the artillery does not stop
the planes do not stop
there is heavy shelling
my leg hurts and we have to walk so far
we all said it would happen
we said look out this will happen
and we all waited for it to happen
and then it happened and is happening now and we say
look it is happening now
just like we said it would
and all the killing just goes on
there's nothing we can do they say
it's out of my hands they say
I am speaking now, they say.
. . .
Meanwhile, we are animals.
We eat, we shit, we fuck.
We cheer on the death
of our oppressors.
We weep at the felling
of our heroes.
And we feast on their flesh,
the both of them.
