TARGETING
Aim too high and you will lose yourself,
Aim too low and you will lose yourself,
Aim for your true self,
and greatness knocks on your door. Based on Pensees 398.
Shoot the enemy and you shoot yourself,
Shoot yourself and you are gone,
Shoot rage, shoot fear, shoot estrangement,
And your target is at hand.
ENEMIES
Hook up with an enemy.
Forget military victory,
Forget conferences,
Forget degrees,
Forget think tanks,
Forget policy.
Nothing works anymore.
Hook up with an enemy,
Then victory will be at hand,
In the eyes of your new friend.
Together you will conquer worlds,
Undiscovered.
Kill your enemy,
And he will kill you.
Kill his child,
And he will kill two.
Search for him,
And he will find you.
Find your enemy,
And you will find your lost self.
A Tale of Sderot/Gaza
Can you still love me,
Even when I am no longer beautiful?
Can you see me across the barren expanses,
Minefields,
Dark secrets,
Dangerous tumors on my brain, and in my heart?
Can you remember me when I was beautiful?
Can you forgive me,
Drink shai with me,
Eat humus with me,
Trade with me,
Smoke with me,
Dream of holy places,
In days gone by,
In our finest costumes?
Can you ever love me again?
