Over 300 police officers in London today have been seen to carry away dozens of people from the foot of statues of Nelson Mandela and Gandhi for alleged “terrorism offences”. Those arrested are accused of holding signs in support of Palestine Action. Here's a poem .
Let's talk about Palestine Action
To non violently resist
Is a natural human emotion,
To strike against a core of injustice
Trying to stop endless cycles of violence,
To smash a window an angry response
An act of defiance against a genocidal state,
To attack a factory to stop arms killing people
Creates a ripple effect, people begin to think,
Of a future with less bombs and weapons of war
Replacing destruction with love and peace,
Today my comrades are branded terrorists
This poet does not believe this label at all,
Am I a terrorist too, a poetical one?
With a heart and mind filled with peace,
Who thinks of ordinary people suffering
Many thousands of innocents now dead,
Under the rubble in Palestine, caked with blood
Babies murdered by drones devoid of humanity,
An out of control extremist oppressing force
Killing mercilessly with bloodthirsty intent,
Palestine Action are not the terrorists
Neither am I, just an ordinary Welshman,
Who daily gets moved, senses disturbed
By every single wound, every drop of blood,
Every tear and every senseless death
The profound feeling of grief and loss,
My strength comes from others
That want to put an end to this,
Having a good conscience should not be a crime
We've a moral duty to fight the repression,
I know who the real terrorists are
That continue delivering brutal injustices,
Those that bomb the guiltless indiscriminately
Delivering starvation, terror after terror.
