Gaza (Arabic: غزة Ġazzah, Arabic pronunciation: [ˈɣazːa]), also referred to as Gaza City, is a Palestinian city in the Gaza Strip, with a population of about 450,000, making it the largest city in the Palestinian territories. Inhabited since at least the 15th-century BCE, Gaza has been dominated by several different peoples and empires throughout its history. The Philistines made it a part of their pentapolis after the Ancient Egyptians had ruled it for nearly 350 years. Under the Romans and later the Byzantines, Gaza experienced relative peace and its port flourished. In 635 CE, it became the first city in Palestine to be conquered by the Rashidun army and quickly developed into a centre of Islamic law. However, by the time the Crusaders invaded the city in the late 11th-century, it was in ruins. In later centuries, Gaza experienced several hardships—from Mongol raids to floods and locusts, reducing it to a village by the 16th-century when it was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire. During the first half of Ottoman rule, the Ridwan dynasty controlled Gaza and under them the city went through an age of great commerce and peace.

To prepare the ground, to plant the seeds.
So many of us will never know the labor and the grit.
And I'm not afraid of our efficiency
And I understand we have invented ourselves out of a job.
And I imagine like anything else our cycle has come
around.
An old womb. Our soil is used.
The noble thing would be to plow it under.
So we can look forward to socio-economical mass graves.
This we celebrate and holiday.
We can attest, native bones make the best fertilizer.
When it ends, when heaven comes
angels are executioners,
and cold steel will be the new colors of the Gap.
We will use leaf blowers from the Home Depot to clean
up the hair and bones.
The scars on our wrists will open.
Some of us will faint before we sleep,
Because no one picked up at the NYSE.
We'll count and compare the flowers on our graves and
We had our day. Before our hands grayed and died, before
the world dried up. We had our day. We walked along the
road and picked up the bones that were our relatives. We
had our day. I put my face to the dogs and let them pull
the smile from me.
Know your children will know more of this earth than you
ever will.
You should be embarrassed.
I can hear them laughing at their history books.
24 hour news hit my face in the darkness and I was yours.
I stood and watched it fall. The world markets collapsed. (DAWN)
I felt it in my guts (DUSK) kicking like a baby.
And I can't find a balance between fear and excitement.
There is truth in history and in this physical world.
Nations will come and go. Empires and ashes.
We've seen this before. Stay calm. Do the right thing.
They used you to clean up tears after a thrice show.
Fucking belt buckles everywhere.
Never digesting anything is a hell of a diet plan.
Here come the suit-bitches.
I watched them hollow out horses... Run.
They gored me once with a diverse portfolio.
Put a dollar in the box.
It's across for show and down to go.
I'm going to throw gristle at my guts.
It's like the sink of finding a lump.
I've got your black plague right here.
How long before the pain-junkies storm the gates?
God. It danced on us like black lung before our hearts gave out.
Put a dollar in the box.
It grew on us. It grew up like a sister.
While every time, celebrating your neck.
It's across for show and down to go.
Pray its malignant. Prey its malignant.
The sky was gray and you were a small child without bones
In your arms. Now you're a man who died propped up
Against a fence in the shadow of your favorite bible
Story. Still without bones in your arms. A mourning
Husband with a pistol in his hand. He will smile at you
You have to wade through the dogs, the vipers, the preachers, the brands
With nothing between you and their sharpened teeth
But the skin over your pale ivory skeleton.
They can tear at the flesh. They can blacken tissue.
They can bleed you. But they can't break the bones.
And when you're through, when all that's left
Is your breath on the air and their howls behind you.
Raise the child in your arms to the sun.
The earth was warm from the sun.
You weren't ivory like the movies.
The dirt stained you, dissolved you, eroded you, revealed you.
You couldn't escape that. Not with your faith.
Not with all the hope in the world.
So I kissed you on the teeth and laid there with you in the sun.
And you answered more questions there than you ever did breathing.
We had our day. Before our hands grayed and died, before
the world dried up. We had our day. We walked along the
road and picked up the bones that were our relatives. We
had our day. I put my face to the dogs and let them pull
Because you wanted this. Because you pulled the kicking
Legs from the insect. This aint your mother. You're gunna
Find a god. Because you wanted this. Because you look to
The sky. You fucking knew better. This aint your mother.
I pulled a dead horse out from under a tarp in my back yard piece by piece.
Once proud, once full of strength she was gold.
Mostly hair and bones now.
I dragged a leg around the yard for hours wearing a path.
I left it there in the sun, abandoned like a child's bicycle at the call of a mother.
We’ll drink the blood of birds and through all this
change we’ll wipe our chins and drink some more. We are
race horses. Some of us are more happy about that than
others. Some of us more eager to win that race. Cooking
There is coldness to explosions.
We got to see her bones.
I had hoped that we were better than that,
that we were connected enough that it would hurt us into giving a fuck.
You shut the fuck up.
You should have known that roses are my favorite flower.
You shut the fuck up.
You should have known that flowers are my favorite color.
You should have...
Exodus 13:17
[Then it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people
go, that God did not lead them by way of the land of the
Philistines, although that was near; for God said, "Lest
perhaps the people change their minds when they see war,
Light poured from my chest and every bird had called your name
As I drove by a deer carcass someone had cleanly taken the head off of.
I thought of you. I knew you'd find it full of wonder.
Someone had desecrated a corpse for a sportless opportunistic skull trophy.
That alone is some hillbilly shit.
The bigger picture is that we've lost feeling in our left arm.
I guess there's no real evidence that we ever had any.
Its in the worst of us that you'll find the baselines
It sure was nice of Jesus to take time away from ignoring
Ethnic cleansing genocide and famine bloated children.
Or regrowing limbs for landmine victims
To help you score that touchdown
To help you find your keys
To help you land that promotion.
Is it that he can't? Or is it that he won't?
Wake up. Wake the fuck up.
Poison blackened veins like the roads through the grasses of NorthAmerica.
It's an old hand that carries the candle through the dark.
Shaking and praying. Winter in her blood.
Panicked. Confused.
Desperation in the flicker of light on the whites of her eyes.
Moaning, gasping, clutching a screwdriver franticly stabbing.
It looks like Ms. America got into the pills again.
She tripped on some errant talking points and broke her hip on Afghanistan.
To prepare the ground, to plant the seeds.
So many of us will never know the labor and the grit.
And I'm not afraid of our efficiency
And I understand we have invented ourselves out of a job.
And I imagine like anything else our cycle has come around.
An old womb. Our soil is used.
The noble thing would be to plow it under.
So we can look forward to socio-economical mass graves.
