On The American Elections

Now that it is almost over, I could not resist a few lines on this election campaign
The US has become a laughing stock as the parties  went low down that lane
Commentators have written about  Evil and lesser Evil as the only choice
A tragedy when a super power cannot come out with a good or better voice

For Trump to represent the  Republicans  seemed at the beginning like a joke
But the joke ended up on the Democrats seeing that Trump was no bloke
The thrust of Obama and Michelle was needed to salvage the party’s  prestige
Having Hillary lose against Trump would be  a disaster they could never appease

In a few hours we will really know and may the Lord have mercy on this globe
Whether it is the evil or lesser evil who will run the show, we will all have to cope
For us Palestinians it does not matter any more another  disappointment
So we’ll simply watch as you lament your fate or rejoice with enjoyment

  1. Godspeed and mercy on US for electing Trump who is a reflection of the worst of US.

    Speaking as an American who has been to both sides of The Wall in Palestine Israel [8 times] what is happening now at Standing Rock is what has been happening in Palestine- the indigenous people supported by nonviolent resisters are blocking construction of the route of the Dakota pipeline through 'holy ground' -

    Trump has NOT said a word on what he will do there; but he has said he will recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital;

    So I imagine Jesus is again weeping buckets over Jerusalem and the USA!
