Landlady Blues

“We hope you choose to continue your tenancy.”

Only a few days
before Halloween,
the [w]itch of a landlady
stopped by to hand deliver
notices of rent increases
starting in the New Year
Only a few days earlier
I came across
an Instagram posting
which mentioned that
Israel was digging up
Palestinian graves
to further encroach
on their soil
and another word
for tenancy
(their word choice
used here)
is occupation
like Israel does
to the Palestinians
and here was this
landlady looking to raise
the rents on people
trying to survive
a pandemic
This was her
(and her husband’s)
answer to the pandemic
and rent moratoriums
and because of
an obstinate tenant
and likely after hearing about
cost of living increases
in paychecks and
by Social Security
because it’s always
about the money
with people
certain people
What you take away
from others,
it is sure to be taken away
from you
such is the law of karma
and the rule of balance
Covid-19 has been a teacher
and many have not learned
the lesson,
not even this landlady
(nor her husband)

 

Jewish Nazis

The Final Solution . . .,
hmm, those other Nazis,
they too killed the infirm
those too weak to work
the old, the crippled, the
gays, the gypsies, the mentally
unfit, men, women and children,
and here, now, these new nazis
have launched a military strike
against a man in a wheelchair,
an old man, feeble and harmless
and unarmed. How proud you
must all feel, Jew and American
alike

Europe, too?

Shylock had it all wrong, he was
terribly misguided, it had nothing
to do with, if you prick us, do we
not bleed . . ., but rather, if you prick
us, we will [in time] blow you up,
we will injure you worse than
what you do to us, tenfold, without
shame, we will be tyrannical and
relentless and revengeful

The Nazis of old were proud, too,
yes, they sure were

Zeig Heil!

 

Zionist TikTok

This Zionist Rabbi,
this Rabbi Simon Jacobson
made a TikTok about
the Trump shooting
saying some ignorant shit
about it being God’s plan
that Trump wasn’t seriously injured
or killed

And, so I immediately wrote my
comment saying
this from a representative
of the Zionist nation of Israel,
perpetrators of a new holocaust,
a genocide of Palestinian people.
fuck you and fuck Trump with this
staged shooting
you are both disgusting ass clowns
pieces of shit
and additional emojis
indicating suicide and death

And the ink wasn’t dry on my last emoji
before the TikTok Censor Police
issued me a comment removal warning:
blah, blah, blah, bullshit about
“our community guidelines…apply to everyone,”
and I hit the “Appeal” button
and wait it out.

Meanwhile, as I wait, I take my screenshots
and prepare to post those with the Appeal Decision

But, while I wait, TikTok conveniently (or inconveniently
as it turns out) “crashes” and even causes my phone
to reboot on its own
they were clearly letting me know
that they did not take kindly to
my remarks about that Zionist Rabbi
rabbi Simon Jacobson
