Grave Desecration, Jewish Cemetery, Wellington 2004



Beyond all little niggling self-reflective doubts,
How do we face a world where evil triumphs,
Where those who hate themselves show little pouts
Against mindless tyrannies, where trumps
Still cry with a clarion call to waken those
Who dream away humanity, yet find
The courage to excoriate the Jews
And demonize the Land of Israel—what kind
Of madness has been loosened from the mud
To sleep in every bed and copulate
With ignorance, self-righteousness, the blood
We thought had seeped away to die.  Now hate
Again is everywhere and no one hears:

The martyrs poison us with asses’ tears.
