In big dark rooms
Men in black and grey
Eating, drinking
Laughing and chatting away
Gather to discuss our problem
The problem of Palestinians!They talked about
“Democracy”
“Freedom”
“Human rights”
And a “solution”
A “vision”
That will bring peace
To the troubled Middle East!
“We can easily solve this. . .
If only. . .
If only. . .
Those terrorists
Would stop their violence”
They concluded
“And as for the refugees
That’s no problem
At all
Just give them some money
Compensate. . .
And they’ll all be content”
Those “civilized”
“Freedom lovers”
“Peace protectors”
“Human right defenders”
“Guardians of ethics”
Did they not know
That
A man
With a knife
Against his throat
Has the right
To push His butcher
Away!!
That
A child,
Who grew up
Far… far away
Deprived of the love
Gentle touch
And warm hugs
Of her beloved grandma
Given the infinite universe
Can never compensate her!!
