“Poetry and beauty are always making peace. When you read something beautiful you find coexistence; it breaks walls down.” — Mahmoud Darwish
Palestine Resistance has exposed Colonialism.
Refusing to leave, and willing to die,
we long proper burials in our own earth
that you brutally deny…
Why strip us of this right to sanctify our children: Schism.
You think it’s time for crime, but just fuel rhyme,
incessant grime for those unfitting square
renderings of time and cult.
Please peel away at the layers of rigid Zionism.
May the horrific burns scalding for days,
the slicing off body parts to save heart,
and interminable deaths
scrape away at the gripping foundations of Despotism
spiraling out the ground like windmill blades;
propaganda machines training soldiers
to normalize massacre for a cause.
The Promised Land envisioned: Judaism.
It’s ‘purely’ unforeseeable, sorry.
Palestine exists more with each child
you kill, each family slain
resonates zaatar-infused echoes deemed plain Terrorism.
I can’t hold my flag or wear khaffiyeh
in peace, despite your fallacious pink pride.
Try to take the total truth,
Just try to admit genocidal intent: Hedonism.
Ethnic Cleansing… and perhaps you can see
the sea for its beauty, not for oysters:
Fantasy ethnic cloisters.
The inherent Palestinian fabric of Jerusalem
subsists on the coalescence of three
monotheistic religions merging
at an intimate juncture.
