[don't stop talking about] Palestine
Why is it for you dear Palestine
that through millennia
blood is mixed with sand and brine?
Cousins dear cousins,
killed by the dozens
Muslims, Christians
and Jews among the missing.
Why is it for you dear Palestine
Pummeled by crusades
Ghosted by the British
That your children must die
Dismissed by the skittish?
And you fight the fight
that might makes right
defined by those
who hate you all as Semites
why is it you, dear Palestine,
That must decide how peace is defined?
