Poem to the Israeli Government: "I Have No More Secrets To Tell"

Justice justice must you pursue

love him or hate him here still is vanunu

to put a legal system to simple test

does state serve justice best?

or does justice serve state less by law

and more by prejudiced intelligence

fabricated half truths and mistakes

that decide and seal the fate

of a Christian man doomed in a Jewish state



How poignant is this Jewish non Jew

Mordechai Vanunu

and what is exactly a Jewish state?

Is it the determined majority or the plurality of convenience?

Is it ultra exclusive or moderately inclusive?

If a state makes welcome the Jewish French but not the Jewish Dissidents,

could dissidence make one less Jewish?

or just less desireable?

We must remember our history about un desireables:

not only Jews but gypsies and homosexuals

the legion of unwanted immigrants and refugees

the darkness of skin deciding fates

the female sex of a child born into unworthiness.



Justice justice must you pursue

and that must mean justice

even for vanunu

especially for vanunu

and for eighteen years of conscience

to stop the proliferation of nuclear hell

The real secret of the Ashkelon cell:

a bible, defiance, endurance, dreams.



"I have no more secrets to tell" Mordechai Vanunu
