speaking of the desire for food
the israelis drew back the waters of the red sea
and the houthishittes were amazed at the choice
of marine life wiggling about for their picking
the jihadis weighed themselves down with so
many delicacies to bring back to their villages
but the soft sea floor worked as a quick sand
of sorts
so the jihadis needed to choose, either lighten
the load by disposing of their weapons and ammo,
or continue to sink
those caring for the bellies of friends and families
threw away the weapons and made it safely back
ashore
those that chanted that only abi jabril takes life,
retained their weapons and slowly dredged toward
shore … but not before the great waters once again
coloured the sea red with their blood
