red heifers

oct se7en atrocities-
the P/people got riled up
after eighty years of hard history,
and five red heifers
shipped from Texas to holy land.

inspired by wizard of oz
machine gun monkeys conspiring to fly
over enemy soil
ready to spoil neighboring riches of war.

some sand people
are not like the others.
some got shipped in by Churchill
and Hitler, had to learn how to absorb
the desert heat.
came bankrolled with deeds
given by ghosts who didn't own,
but could afford it.

and now the whole world is watching
two neighbors crucify
several thousand years of religion
while kicking up a dust storm so big,
it blinds the eyes of anyone
trying to see through it.
