The Evil Masters of the Caged Birds

In Maya Angelou’s activism, one finds the trail of blood in indentured servitude, and dissipating hopes. But most impressive of all is her Caged Birds poem, in which she yearns for lost and unattainable freedom. Gaza today is home to the Caged Birds of Maya Angelou. It has become ground zero for the accuracy of our compass in the service of humanity. It separates those who see the evil masters of the caged birds subjecting unarmed women and children to extreme violence, from those whose cruelty is justifiably aimless and unnaturally inhumane.

In essence, Israel is but a jungle of twisted semblances of humanity that separates the mortals in Gaza from the animals who embraced the extreme cruelty of Zionism.

Never has humanity faced such a simple, yet misunderstood, conflict. On one side are the colonizers stealing and pilfering, and on the other are the caged birds seeking freedom and ownership. There are no interpretations, no biblical references, and no propaganda that can challenge the truth of Israel and its existence.

They came to Palestine to steal a country from its rightful owners.

It is a story of David and Goliath like the world has never experienced before. Israel pummeling unarmed women and children makes it clear who is the evil in this story. The rest, like the lies, and the deceptions, are just blank fillers when the truth lies in every bomb dropped on the innocents in broad daylight.

To build Israel on a lie, or a biblical reference, is to build a house of straw on top of a windy and treacherous mountain top.

ISRAEL IS NON-SUSTAINABLE POLITICALLY AND SOCIALLY

We do live in the 21st century, and even though Americans have rights, possibilities, and social platforms to express their views, the Zionists in America are trying to take these rights and possibilities away from the people.

Witness their onslaught on TikTok. Or the stifling of our free speech, they call antisemitism. Witness the panic as they overspend on buying politicians to keep the lies and the deceptions of the origins of Palestine going, or at least forcing the same politicians to repeat their lies. Israel exists on a bed of lies, if you ask us.

To build Israel on a lie, or a biblical reference, is to build a house of straw on top of a windy and treacherous mountain top. It looks like a good effort, but it will not last.

Meanwhile, the caged birds are going nowhere. Even though their evil masters have plans for them to force them east of the Euphrates, or west of the Nile. In reality, the status quo of Israeli occupation is non-sustainable. Not if western civilization, built on the crescent of laws and rights, can survive the hypocrisy of its actions, or lack of when it suits their purposes, or interests.

This question needs real men of courage to answer it and implement it. Liars and wimps, don’t bother to apply.

HUMANS, OR NOT?

Either Palestinians are human beings that have the same rights as those who live in Berlin, or Washington, or they are just cannon fodder the world lies to itself about protecting like the westerners protect themselves. It is in the best of our self-interests to limit Israel’s damage and to create a Palestinian state. Otherwise, our credibility and our influence would vastly disappear in the fog of so many Israeli wars whose only aim is to expand Zionism. At the expense of western rules-base world order.

The time is near to decide what to do about the caged birds. Either we continue to annihilate them, which may lead to self-annihilation as nations of law and order, or do we give them a country to call their own, and their dignity and freedom back.

This question needs real men of courage to answer it and implement it. Liars and wimps, don’t bother to apply.
