This is for you Palestine: gazawritesback
I abruptly wake up to intense gunshots
But as I do, I see the others around me asleep
But the kind of sleep I am talking about isn't of the living
Crimson colour oozes out of their skin as the enemy pursues killing
From every inch of their body holy blood is shed
The last drops of their elixir of life
Lies in rivers which soon become oceans
Reminding me of the never-ending strife
Too preoccupied of the scene unfolding before me
I seldom realize the gun
Coming closer.. and closer... and even closer
Ready to make me part of the incessant sea
Until I hear that resounding 'CLICK!'
And I turn around
Really quick
The devil pointing it towards my chest; my heart; my soul; my life
Ready to make me plummet to the ground
To join my brothers and sisters of this country
The ones whom tried to protect this country through this dilemma;
This horrendous dilemma of which is nothing but pure hostility
My name is Salma
And I am proud to say that this is my country
And if fighting for it means the sacrificing of lives
So be it
I look at him through the eye;
Through the abyss filled with filthiness and belligerence
And tell him, I tell this malevolent enemy
To take me to meet my family
And that while I confront them in heaven
Maybe even in paradise number seven
Go thank the devil when god
Sends you there for the life you
And your people have flawed
Whilst newton had discovered gravity
From a single apple that fell
No one discovered humanity
Even when they all yell
While thousands and thousands plummet.
No, they have already passed the summit
They are not humans, for humans are made
With a heart and therefore these devils are mislaid
Remember, Israel have Satan while Palestine have Allah
The devil carelessly begins to pull the trigger
And as my last moments disappear
I pray that soon this conflict
Will end and clear
I felt tears crawl down my cheeks
Not for my death but for patriotism and pride
They augmented and formed heaps
And despite the dryness of my throat from screaming I tried;
I push my last words with full force onto the enemy's face
Before I went to the novel yet enchanting place
My last breath confining such eloquence and majesty
With every word disdainful for the enemy:
"Ashhadu 'ana La ilaha illa allah Wa'anna Muhammadan rasulallah!"
(May God guide Palestine through this confrontation and send all Palestinians where they belong in heaven inshallah)
