Mary Mayer Shapiro

Lebanon


When will you learn

Hamas attacked Israel

Twelve hundred people

Slaughter

Arms, legs, Head, eyes

Burned, detached

Hostages taken

Hid in Gaga

Did you not see

Israel defended itself

Gaga is destroyed

Hamas used Palestinians

As human shields

Hospitals, schools, religious buildings

Place to hide weapons

Why do you let

Hezbollah shoot from

Your borders

Unite with Israel

Rid the world of terrorist

Or they will rid

The rest of the world




Goes Around, Comes Around


Palestine does not

Want peace

Let Hamas rule the land

When missiles fly into Israel

Palestinians become collaborators

Agree or do nothing

When Hamas

Attack twelve hundred people

Beheaded, torched, raped

Palestinians cheered

When people were abducted

Palestinians beat the hostages

Palestinians boys tormented

A six year old Israel boy

Palestinians cheered

When women were paraded nude

Palestinians cheered

When Israel fought back

Palestinians cried

Hamas hid weapons

In hospitals, schools, religious buildings

Used Palestinians as human shields

Took Red Cross aid

For themselves

What was the Palestinians thinking

Taught to hate the Jews

Eliminate all Jews

When Flyers went out

Where Israel would bomb

Palestinians were to leave

Palestine must take responsibility

For their actions

Now Palestinians know what terrorist are about

Do they still believe

Perhaps now they will

Make peace with Israel




America


Hamas committed an act

Of terrorism in Israel

Twelve hundred people

Beheaded, torched, rape

Israel fought back

And is winning

Now pro Palestinians

Want cease fire

So Hamas can regroup

Pro Palestinians rally

For Israel to stop

Are they American citizens

Then they should be for America

And the eight Americans held hostage

By Hamas

If not leave the life in America

And all it has to offer

Go back to Palestine and let Hamas

Terrorists take care of you

Use you as human shields, take your food

If that is the leader you believe in




Assassins For Hire


To eliminate

To get rid of

Without getting

Your hands dirty

Iran, Iran, Iran

Supporting all the terrorists

First the Jews

Then the Christians

Who will be next

Human life will

Have not meaning

Heads thrown here

Arms and legs cast about

We all cannot

Think alike

We need diversity

Of religion

Agree to disagree

We must come together

To rid the world of terrorism
