“on either side of the river was the tree of life”

my favorite historian says

“Evangelicals want to keep

Israel real

for the rapture,” now

their plans are

falling into place:

their bombs are

falling into Gaza;

their anti-Zionism = anti-Semitism equation is

falling into discourse hungry for excuse

for genocide

two wrongs mean

they’re right while

we blame the wrong

warmongers

diaspora-mongers

social-unrest-mongers

climate-catastrophe-mongers

I only want cheesemongers

not Evangelicals selling

every harbinger of the

Apocalypse,

the falling (up) they desire while

I want to choose

life, from this earth

rising in

place, discourse

to the sea.
