Interesting how you didn’t say “Biden is responsible for the genocide” like you did on HCR’s substack letter. Israel is responsible for Palestinian genocide. NOT Biden. Talk about genocide all you want but blaming Biden is BS.
I didn’t say Biden was responsible because I thought we were talking about poetry but since you brought it up:
The Biden administration has:
1- provided all the munitions for the genocide. 100 arms shipments were sent to Israel since October 7th. Every single one was just under the threshold that would require congressional approval.
2- positioned troops in Jordan and Syria to discourage any other country from intervening to stop the massacre.
3- provided US troops for aerial reconnaissance and targeting over Gaza.
4- attacked Yemen for trying to stop ships headed for Israel.
5- using their UN veto power to protect Israel from any UN repercussions.
6- worst of all took money away from the UN organization that is trying to stop Palestinians from starving to death. The United States is actually helping to starve civilians based on unsubstantiated claims by Israel that 15 of 30,000 UNWRA employees may have been involved with Hamas information that now appears likely that Israel obtained by torturing Palestinian prisoners.
If you don’t believe that the Biden administration is responsible for this genocide then you are a bigger fool than I thought.
It may not be poetry that you like but it is poetry. Everyone experiences poetry in a different way. Your opinion is as valid as anyone else’s. I just ask that you be more specific in your criticism and stick to the poem in question and if you want to criticize my opposition to genocide there are plenty of opportunities to do that elsewhere.
People can be many different things at the same time. What about this poem gives you the impression that I’m disgruntled? And I’m sure codger is not the insult you think it is.

This is not poetry. You are not a poet, artist or writer. You are a disgruntled old codger. Period.
