PROPAGANDA AND ITS VICTIMS

From reading Philip K. Dick's Ubik
in which nudity 
                          sells Zionism
in the form of a teenager
                                            from a kibbutz 
                                                                      in Topeka, Kansas,
(propaganda for Zionism 
hasn't changed 
                            in 57 years)
in midst of questions 
                                     about life, death
and reality
                   moving
                   to reading news
of the ongoing
                         genocide
                         by Israel
of how Zionism
                           has killed 15 people
in the last thirty-six hours
in Gaza
and one in West Bank,
victims
from 8-year-old
                            little girl,
                                                Shahd Abdul Razzaq al-Najjar,
                                                shot dead 
                                                                 by Israel's quadcopter drone,
to a burned youth,
                                 Ahmad Khamis Najaa,
remembered from a video,
in agony
                in the aftermath of a massacre
ten days earlier;
                             watching him then
I knew
            he would die
and hoped otherwise
                                      knowing he wouldn't.
