To The Editor:
I don’t know if anybody else has noticed:
But all of our necessary services are leaving The Valley.
Two banks, a pharmacy and now our health center are not considered profitable.
Our schools are not profitable.
They’re too expensive. (Billions for exterminating Palestinians are fine.)
Do you have a problem with this?
Well, I do.
We will not do anything to help our homeless, hungry neighbors.
That’s too difficult.
We can’t afford it.
(Billions for the extermination of Palestinians.)
We CAN afford that.
We can’t afford a health center.
Do you find that odd?
Or immoral?
I laugh with tears in my eyes,
Funding genocide is affordable but a health center is not.
What are we?
