Art: 'We shall Return' Abu Ishtayyah
Hope for Palestine,
We witness children burning, trapped by hellish fire
Bombed to death by terrorist state fuelling ire,
These flames burn deep inside, cruel and unkind
Grave injustices that engulf heart and mind,
No room for words, the world must act and stand
Let justice be delivered, offer it's unyielding hand,
Amidst all the pain, where hope seems shatterred
There remains a people with spirits undaunted,
Never surrendering or giving in, hold on to sumud
A unique iteration of resilience and steadfastness,
Do not fall into despair, even in the darkest times
Strong and fearless, under ash ridden sky,
Last night, I had a dream, in this land of Palestine
From the rivers to the sea, the chimes of freedom,
Beyond this time of genocide and annihilation
The pain of hunger replaced with healing balms,
Instead of living in tents, trembling in fear of bombs
Homes rebuilt, children wake to play and laughter,
Eyes see the delight of beauty and goodness
As flowers bloom again under spreading olive trees,
Hear joyful sounds of liberation, as occupation ends
Peace and love daily spread, instead of oppression.
