The Ungrateful
New York Dr. Cesar Chelala
How ungrateful Palestinians are
We gave them money
We gave them food
And they don’t even say thank you!
Why then should we continue to give them anything?
Oh, I almost forgot
We also sent weapons
Thousands of weapons
To massacre them
And they don’t even say thank you!
We sent bombs to destroy their houses
And kill all those inside
We destroyed their schools
Their churches
Their mosques
And they don’t even say thank you!
We made their land uninhabitable
Chased them away from their homes
Left them no means to escape the horror
And they don’t even say thank you!
We attacked their hospitals
We deprived them of basic medicines
And supplies
We made them walk for miles
The young, the old and
The infirm
Without food or water
And they don’t even say thank you!
We gave them hundreds of millions of dollars
And they don’t even like us
Then we said
Why the hell are we giving them money anyway?
So, we stopped it
And now they complain
But we will continue
Pummeling them
Until they cry
Uncle.
