Foreign Body
by Milena Rampoldi, ProMosaik.
He went to the land
of the greedy hordes
of the greedy hordes
He became fat and
rich
rich
And he became fatter
and heavier
and heavier
He went to the land
of the addicted fighters
of the addicted fighters
He attacked and won
He expanded and
continued to be the winner
continued to be the winner
The winning, foreign
body
body
His victory was
foreign –
foreign –
Since he was a
foreign body
foreign body
However, his
narration continued to repeat
narration continued to repeat
You are the winner
You are addicted of
victories
victories
You are thirsty of
aggressions
aggressions
Since you – the
technological foreign body
technological foreign body
Are the winner
The narration does
not stop
not stop
To repeat this
He shot and looked
around
around
In the solitude of
his illusory victory
his illusory victory
In the solitude of
his illusory truth
his illusory truth
The others were
crouched on the ground
crouched on the ground
He repeated the
monologue of his narration
monologue of his narration
He believed in this
lie
lie
It was his truth
He adored it
You have won
You are the winner

Anti-Zionist Fragments is a loud
cry that echoes the deep pain felt by the collective soul of a
Palestinian people who for almost seventy years have been subject to a barbaric
ethnic cleansing that denies them their heritage, history, and human rights. It
is a cry that begs recognition of the Palestinian people who as members of the
human family are entitled to an inherent dignity with the equal and inalienable
rights that form the foundation for freedom, justice, and peace in the world; a
cry that for too long has been ignored by hypocritical, double standard
political and religious leaders; and an agonized cry that should be heard by
all of us and touch the hearts of real human beings.

Milena Rampoldi’s Fragments are
succinct and cover a range of pertinent topics that defiantly express the
unbreakable spirit of a people — who despite all the odds against them
including an unconscionable betrayal by the rest of the world — are nonetheless
determined to survive and to hold on to what is left of their culture which the
Zionist invaders have not already destroyed or stolen while citing scriptures
written by Jews claiming to have been chosen by God who gave them Palestine.
