Why Is Palestine Yet To Be Free? Please, Please, Answer Me!

 

Why is Palestine Yet To Be Free? Please, Answer Me”

They run

through sandy fields,

careening

over dusty hills.

Their Yiddish,

war cry,

echoes

still.

*

Israeli soldiers

orders

“kill”

Does it?

does it,

give them thrill?

*

Tiny bodies,

maimed,

torn,

What?

‘war crime’

committed?

Being???

Born???

*

Buried beneath,

rubble’s tangled mess

Bodies lay,

mangled,

in unrest.

*

They claim,

even toddlers,

terrorist be.

The sniper’s bullet

takes

wee life,

you see?

*

Beneath mountains

of war’s debris

lay many more

than they admit to be.

*

Birds,

no longer,

sing song.

Even they sense

this to be wrong.

*

Leaders,

from all nations,

complain.

Israel,

insane???

*

No action do

our leaders take.

To save

innocents

for the Lord’s

sake.

*

“Hamas”

they say,

the target,

does be.

*

As Red Cross

removes,

a corpse,

age?

Three!

*

Must be

a terrorist,

Israel’s actions

they plea,

The media,

praises

“Ceasefire”

See???

*

Pray not,

for me

*

For,

from the river,

to,

the sea.

Ask your leader,

“Why is Palestine yet to be free”

“Please”

“Please”

“Answer me!”
