Nanna – A Poem by Shahar Golan

Posted on January 27, 2010 by Shahar Golan · Leave a comment

 

 

Show me the soap, Nanna
The one you said you kept,
The one inscribed R.I.F. for
Reichs-Juden-Fett.

You do not know where it is
You say with clear frustration,
A bar of soap that proves, mind you,
Our people’s extermination.

You never had a bar of soap,
You liar! Liar! Liar!
You never had a bar of soap,
You Holocaust denier!

I Hope My Daughter Grows Up to Be Just Like Shakira – A Poem by Shahar Golan

I hope my daughter
Grows up to be
Just like Shakira,
A strong confident woman
That must be caged
Before she can dance
Inside a glittery vagina.

Militarism – A Poem by Shahar Golan

Posted on August 13, 2009 by Shahar Golan · Leave a comment

 

 

I saw the eye doctor
And he showed me
A cool book
Filled with pictures.
He then said
There’s something wrong
With my 3-D vision,
But not to worry
I can still lead
A full and productive life,
But when I’ll join the army
I can never be
An Air Force pilot.

At age 7,
My life was ruined.

We Liberated Europe – A Poem by Shahar Golan

Posted on June 6, 2009 by Shahar Golan · Leave a comment

 

 

When Americans say
‘We liberated Europe’
I shudder and think:
My people
Were liberated
Through chimneys.
