Nursery Rhyme

Nursery Rhyme[1]
How arrogant is the Englishman
of whatever creed or hue
who avers the Arab native
is inferior to the Jew[2]
How Blinkened the American
And all that he can see
is a Disneyfied Holy Land
through Judeao-Christian lunacy[3]
How ugly is the German
with his foolish liberal pride
He’s got a new set of stories
but still commits genocide
How insane is the Israeli
now that history’s put him here
He builds his walls and mows his lawns
in brute anger and red fear
How deceitful the Iranian
and what a hypocrite
Instead of liberating Palestine
he forces Syria to submit
How corrupt the craven Arabs
the dictators bound for hell[4]
The blood of us is on their hands
Our souls is what they sell
[1] Lest the author be accused of indulging in such childish tropes as personification, and national stereotyping, let it be noted that the title ‘Nursery Rhyme’ points knowingly and self-referentially towards the childish.

[2] See Winston Churchill et al.

[3] Or ‘through Judeao-Christian lunettes

[4] The author is too humble an agnostic to claim to know the actually destined destination of the dictators. ‘Hell’ here, then, as may or may not be the case there, in the afterlife, acts as a metaphor rather than a literal fact
