When the students share the military ethos

This is the evacuation of saints and their luggage
strapped to the back of shorthand manuscripts

curiosity where freedom fears to tread,
for nations contributing soldiers and stomping pits

there is nothing on their backs
if you do not count the luggage
sapping for killing, strapped arms waists

Palestine once again vanishes,
evading the ethics of cultural memory
in the U.S. and EU, they have killed ethics
pardoning Israel for mass murder
was always the political norm,

so too is accepting murder by choice as religious
there the father grail is put out to jail, the tolls undone
so that terrible gusts can linger finding wastebaskets dry
the rattled civilians do nothing that could cost their lives,
cement in their bodies or their action out of fear of morality
