Allen L Roland's Radio Weblog
My ongoing theme is always the truth , as I see it , and the exposure of lies, deception and manipulation wherever they exist. I remain firmly convinced that the world can no longer resist its innate urge to unite and co-operate with one another and we are very close to the point where war can no longer be an option if this transformation is to occur.

ODE TO RACHEL CORRIE

 
Rachel Corrie
we have not forgotten you
 
I can still see you now
Standing unarmed
feet apart
in your orange fluorescent jacket
bullhorn to your lips
making your stand
against oppression
 
It was two years ago
March 16, 2003
that you stood before
that nine-ton
Caterpillar bulldozer
trying to protect
the illegal demolition
of a Palestinian
home
 
The Israeli soldier
and his
commander
ran over you
crushing your
body and life
beneath the
tractors 
awesome
weight
 
Run over by a
bulldozer
made in the
United States
and sent to
Israel as part
of its 4 billion
dollar annual aid
package
 
A bulldozer
destroying civilian
homes and violating
U.S law ~ which
prohibits the use of
military aid against
civilians
 
Your Death ignored
by the both the
Israel Army who
self-aquitted itself
and the Bush
Administration
which turned its
head away in
cowardice
                                                          .
After two years
neither the FBI
or any U.S.- led
team has done
anything to
investigate your
death
 
Yet it took only
24 hours two years
ago for the FBI
to investigate
the deaths
of three Americans
by a
Palestinian
suicide bomber
 
To the U.S
the Palestinians are
terrorists
and you seemingly
became
one yourself
by your humanitarian
act of courage
 
But you are not a
terrorist
Rachel Corrie
You are a hero
and an
inspiration
to
all of us
 
All of us who
resist the bulldozer
of lies and deception
from the Bush Administration
and like you
are standing
feet apart
bullhorn to our lips
making our stand
against civil and
political oppression
 
Thank you
Rachel Corrie
Your body and
life may have
been crushed
but your
indomitable spirit
lives on.
