The sky and the stars will be my witness
Against your crimes
The boy who lost his father on your blue and white hand will be my ally
The olive trees plucked like weeds
Will remind me of my roots
The mother who lost her children
Fighting this war for their land
She will be my motivation
To rid this land of your disease
1917
The Balfour Declaration
They gave the land they didn’t own to the people who didn’t deserve
That’s when everything started to spiral out of control
Massacres in thousands
Refugees in millions
Dead heroes like Racheal Corry
The young vivacious human rights activist
Who stood her ground when that tank ran her over
Who gave anyone the right to take her life?
Do you not remember Mohammed Durra
The 10 year old crouching behind his father
The father who wanted to protect his son
The 10 year old never aged another day
Ending up repeatedly shot until his last breath
Or Iman Hijo
The 4 month old baby
Who was shot with rocket that came in her stomach and out her back
Her mother can never see her child as a bride someday
The assassined activists
Like Yasser Arafat Ahmed Yassin and the Rantisi
The Houses that were demolished or taken away
On my visit to Haifa I saw my grandpa’s house used as a sight
They were going to bulldoze it down it was one of 2 still standing
In clear letters on the front door said his name
How can all these atrocities be happening?
In the end who is to blame?
While the undeserving scum can be to blame for the problems they are not alone
I blame the ones who stayed silent when words were needed
I blame the people that walked away when the Palestinians pleaded
I blame the surrounding countries that are now begging for help
Where were you when Palestine needed your Help?
My Palestinian flag consists of 4 colors
Red for the blood Palestinians shed
Black is for the mourning over the families that are dead
Green is for the land of Palestine
And white is for the peace they used to have
66 years of occupation
And no one is stopping what’s going on
66 years is way too long and
No one is righting this wrong
