First poem in ages.

First poem of the year, too, but it's still a little rough around the edges, but okay. :P

Enjoy another slice of toast,
Whilst Palestine awakes, to yet another human roast,
Hum your favourite songs,
As Israel is committing, even more wrongs.

Is it just, that the Muslims are being killed by the thousand?
Was it just that the Jews were shipped of to Poland?
Build a wall around Gaza and blow them to bits!
Brick the Jew in the ghetto, next they'll be sent to Auschwitz!

Isn't it sad that a boy, just sixteen years of age,
Hears of the news, immediately feels nothing but rage?
The Jews returned to Zion, and want even more,
I've seen the evil, amidst all the gore.

It's all very well, dreaming of peace,
Our very own Government, has sided with a beast,
Speak out 'gainst Israel, you're anti-Semitic,
Don't side with the Muslims; don't be altruistic.

Really we're given, one of two choices, side with the enemy,
Or be part of the remedy,
Dr. Sam, nurse Britannia prescribe ethnic cleanse.
After all, these are Muslim, public enemy of our lens.

The fact is simple, the truth is pretty clear,
Their children are living, under Jewish sniper range,
Do realize it is Israel, not Palestine we should fear?


Pretty obviously, this poem is about Gaza and Israel's atrocities.

Not because they're gory, not for a voyeuristic purpose. But just to see, what the Jews are doing to Palestinians. To see that these are not soldiers, these are children, women, men, civilians.
I have met people from Palestine on facebook etc, and so easily could the people I've met be dead due to Israel.
The people in these photos are Muslim, but, they're also children, like your little brother, your little sister, your own child, your niece and nephew.
The women could be your elder sister, your mother.

This isn't just a war, this is what our governments call 'collateral damage'.
No one will stop the Jews, they've already taken most of the Palestinians' land, and still they want more.
The UK and the USA have sided with Israel, the allies provided the Israelis with the weaponry, machinery. And the UN supplied them with the coordinates for a school with Gazan refugees.
Egypt is siding with Palestine, rightly so, at least 1 country is doing what is right.

That's all I have to say.

Good morning, World, this is Joel.

Okay, so I'm incredibly bored, so I'm going to make a list of places I'd like to go, revise it maybe later and finalise it, etcetera.

The first place on my list is San Zhi, Taiwan.
San Zhi, was basically a would-be tourist attraction...only, it was never completed. So now it stands derelict and abandoned, locals say because it was being built upon burial ground...and there were also mysterious accidents while it was being built.
In any case, it looks AWESOME!

Then there's also Gunkanjima, Japan.
From what I gather, Gunkanjima was a heavily populated island, which has a great big wall around it, natural I think...not sure, but it's also abandoned, do you see where I'm going with this blog? I think you do! ;)
Apparently tourists and visitors are not permitted to see the island, presumably because it's falling apart.

Poveglia, Italy, is a fantastic island. Really fantastic. It's in the Venetian lagoon, so, obviously near Venice...
But it's amazing. It has a really interesting and rich history.
It's been many things, first a plague pit in the Roman times, then a leper colony in Mediaeval Italy, and most recently an asylum.
Now, it gets even more eerie when you think about the asylum, the main guy, was so evil, used to do crude lobotomies and everything, legend has it, he went completely mad, jumped off the clock tower and his body was never found.
Nowadays it's apparently a private vineyard. But to me, anything that is 'off limits to the public' has something dark there...

ADDED 22:02:2009: I started this about a month ago, and I doubt I'll ever finish, so I'm just going to leave it now.
