By Nahida- Exiled Palestinian
In Palestine
Terror reignsPsychopaths claim dominanceand a “G-d given right“ to rob, kill and maim
In PalestineTerror reignsSmiles … wiped of innocent facesLittle girls weepLittle boys butcheredBabies are slain
In PalestineTerror reignsCriminals are the lawThey bomb, they shoot, they smiteWith mini-nukes they wipe life out
In PalestineTerror reignsWithout “lamp-shades”, bodies mutilatedWithout “cremation–ovens”, toddlers charcoaledWithout “gas-chambers”, Tiny tots… exterminated
In PalestineTerror reignsAggressors crowned with “victim-hood”Their victims… “anti-Semites”, “filled with hate” !They murder then crySneer as they lieThey twist and deceive, innocence they proclaimApart from themselves, Everyone to blame
In PalestinePrimary colours no longer threeRed and green, black and whiteFreedom painted red… Love is greenSacrifice and faith… black and white
In PalestineOut of the ashes humanity rises tallResilience leaves you you speechlessCourage takes your breath away
and in contrast
Bottomless cowardice
As never seen before
In PalestineSomething miraculous happensThe more people dieThe more hope is born!
Hope… AstoundingBequest of the DivineSeen in every faceWritten with every name
