Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Kobayashi Issa was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun. If you want to find out more about this prolific author I suggest you check out this database of his haiku.

"Pay no attention to that genocide right in front of your face."

That's the constant message we're getting from the dominant institutions in this present-day dystopia. From our news media. From our political parties. From our government. From our mainstream culture of diversion and superficiality.

Reading by Tim Foley.

"Pay No Attention To That Genocide Right In Front Of Your Face"

Pointing pistols as the man burns,
as Gaza burns,
as civilization burns,
as the planet burns.
I don't need guns 
I need fire extinguishers.

Raytheon racketeers and Pentagon pimps
swollen fat from the blood of unnamed victims
glossed over in headlines by The New York Times
while National Guard troops patrol the New York subways
and babies with legs like toothpicks fill our screens.
Pouring arms into Israel 
while humanitarian-LARPing aid airdrops.
Waving around armageddon weapons
while accusing peacemongers of treason.
Well sure I'd ask for seconds mister president sir,
but see I don't need guns
I need fire extinguishers.

I need someone to put some fat back on those babies.
I need someone to get the plastic out of the oceans.
I need the bombs to stop and the siege to lift
and a healthy planet for the kids to play in.
I need kids to stop getting their limbs blown off
so they can run and play in that healthy world.
Can you drone strike me a thriving biosphere?
Can you ICBM those Gazans some food?
Can you extinguish this fire with your weapons and wars?
No?
Then get outta the way man.
We don't need guns
we need fire extinguishers.

"Free Palestine," the man on fire said.
"FREE PALESTINE!" he screamed.
And then the cops showed up with their guns and their bullets,
because of course they fucking did.
And Gaza still burns,
and the world still burns,
and our eyes still burn,
and our lungs still burn,
and our hearts still burn,
and our rage still burns,
and they promise us the burning will stop
if we just add in a few more guns.

We don't need guns you stupid cop.
We need this burning world to heal.

I Don't Need Guns I Need Fire Extinguishers

A recently released UNRWA document says its staff report having been tortured while detained by Israeli forces, who pressed them to provide false statements about ties between the agency and Hamas.

Israel Accused Of Torturing UN Workers To Obtain False Testimony About UNRWA

US airman Aaron Bushnell said the words "This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal" before self-immolating in protest of the genocide in Gaza. That simple line has been reverberating throughout our collective consciousness ever since.

This Is What Our Ruling Class Has Decided Will Be Normal

There's a motherfucking genocide happening and we're being told we need to be worried about TikTok and defaced portraits of Lord Balfour.

Reading by Tim Foley.

Worrying About TikTok During An Active Genocide

Nothing's more enraging than seeing the western officials who are making this genocide possible weep crocodile tears about how "heartbreaking" it is.

Crocodile Tears For Gaza While Backing Its Destruction

Israel is as dependent as a nation can possibly be. It literally cannot exist without the direct military backing of the most powerful empire of all time, namely the United States and its globe-spanning network of allies and assets.
