  sorry i missed this just found out about it today…

  if you’re doing anymore i do raps and poetry and would love to contribute…

  already done everything on your list of things to do and i would like to do more- started writing a song about gaza for what its worth…

  this is from 2002

  PALESTINE

  its possibly pomposity
  on my part but my art
  is getting high and letting fly
  with ferocity from the heart
  I chart atrocity upon atrocity protest
  as the tanks roll across cities
  and camps in the west bank
  thanks to the yanks
  they’re succour stank from the start
  animosity is doss its evil
  bombs are never smart

  they’re sending men into jenin
  pretending then that they’re defending them
  when ending again is depending
  on a hand extending and taken
  demand it’s shaken
  making understanding awaken
  mend instead of breaking
  ascend above the faking
  be a friend to the Palestinians
  It’s them that we’ve forsaken

  the UN is doing
  too little too late
  too brittle the States are screwing
  the Middle East the riddle of peace is not instability
  cease hostility just futility
  must increase the trust,humility
  thrust on fuckers whose imbecility’s ill at ease,
  when mental agility sees
  their reason ability freeze
  appeasing Israelis
  and squeezing these epitomes
  of human fragility more versatility please

  when dealing with land stealing
  and controlling land they’ve stolen
  and revealing shite excuses
  rights abuses
  they’re concealing that’s my goal
  and im appealing for some healing til theyre whole
  the shelling of dwellings
  is swelling the ranks
  of those rebelling they’re telling the tanks
  back to the border restore order
  cease attack and show some soul you pack of wanks

  and if time affords then climb aboard a peace accord
  the quest of the people of Palestine
  is by design at best ignored
  at worst the west at first suggest
  the Arabs cursed Israelis blessed
  the poor oppressed all push protest
  bush couldn’t pass the Turing test
  he comes from conquered continents
  in context of this complex lexicon that’s meant
  resentment sent at comrades voicing discontent
  unrest ignited by conquest
  united by their plight they’re fight is righteous I suggest

  though detesting aggression a session is best so
  deduce a useful solution wont manifest
  and im less than impressed
  I can imagine every radge in this tragic pageant is agitating
  fragile state inflating hate and there’s no magic waiting
  and no abating creating the trait
  of propagating further hating too late
  to stop perhaps
  with tip top hip hop,
  poetry and raps
  I analyse what I despise
  then toke til I collapse
