When you feel tears of rage
An unbearable cry of pain
That mark your passing days
As your ship begins to grow unsteady,
And the waves around you start to grow bigger
Try to keep on rowing against the dark forces,
Keep faith in dreams planted within you
Keep fighting for what you believe in,
Though I know this can be tough
Try bravely to hide any fear,
Look up to the stars that guide you
Let faith be ignited like a matchbox,
Spit out anger and despair
Turn them into poems,
Allow your truth to be shared to the world
Let your voices be defiant and loud,
Hold your convictions close
Enabling you to rise again,
Keep talking about Palestine
The casual unrelenting cruelty of Israeli terror,
And the abiding indifference of a world
As children drown in the rain and streets hum with grief,
Anyone who remains silent has completly lost their humanity
I desperately try to make the soulless find empathy,
It keeps breaking me how few people care
Profoundly refusing to accept that this is ok,
I will keep carrying the pulse of tomorrow
A continuing drumbeat against the roar of ruin.
Thank you Dave.
