Ode to Palestine
Ode to Palestine
Palestine:
The travelling folks of Egypt and Jordan
Settled in a rocky terrain
They called her promised land;
The land promised  to them.
Palestine:
The land of Zataar, Zaytoon
and Lime
Palestine:
The land of progressive and loving people
 at her core.
The British Empire promised the rocky terrain
To other displaced people:Â The Jews;
From which they yielded no fruit
 Nor money!
The Jews called her
The promised land:
The land promised to them.
For at the heart of her is Jerusalam:
The town holy to both Mohamedians
And the Jews:
the loving cousins they were once.
Palestine:
Became a country of division, feuds!
A country of Bloodsheds
The country of bitter tears shed.
Palestine:
The land of people living insanitary camps
On the margins:Â their minds becoming unsound;
Slowly !
 Day by day!
Like a blood tap turning into a blood sea.
Palestine:
The land of diseases,Â
The land of infant deaths
In sea of numbers
The land of famished folks,
The land of murky waters and no hopes.
Palestine:
 Where the bitter seed of hopelessness
Is sown;
Turning into a thorny tree;
Bearing blood fruits!
Palestine:
The land of forgotten people,
The land of  bitter feuds !
Palestine :
The land of peoples’ pleas
Unheard, unseen!
Palestine:
The land of peoples’ suffering
