Palestine Action Man Figure

by Andy Croft

He’s here!
Unarmed and homeless
And unable to do anything!

Now with emaciated body,
Lifelike tears,
Empty stomach
And eyes that see no way out!

Expecting to be killed
At a food distribution centre or a hospital,
He knows that this time
No-one is going to help him.

Abandoned, betrayed,
He’s where the real genocide is!

New from Palitoy,
Palestine Action Man
Includes exploding head,
Eight dead children,
And a bag of body parts.

Hope not included.

Andy Croft lives in North Yorkshire. His most recent books are The Privatisation of Poetry and Release the Sausages: Poems for Sir Keir Starmer. He is the former poetry editor for the Morning Star.
