Pearls of Palestine scattered
One by one, shattered
Trees cover up the past
Still, the memories last
Laughter slowly fades
As a result of the frequent raids
Hearts torn
Peoples’ scorn
Children; no longer
As they grow stronger
Made to feel pain
Smiles remain
Waiting to return
Constant, aching yearn
For the land they once knew
No longer in their view

The world stands by
Hearing them cry
Watching them die
We say goodbye
They hope to fly
Back to their land
Graze the soil with their hand
Help their children come to see
That once they used to be
Immersed in luxury
Wealth in the ability to belong
The relief that justice has conquered wrong
They wait for that day
Pray peace will find its way

We forget
All the regret
Our eyes can see
The animosity
We don’t project a voice
We’ve made the choice
To let the blood flow
As if it’s a show
We witness the sorrow
We’ll help tomorrow

How do we breathe when we know they are strangled?
How do we eat when their bodies are mangled?
How can we laugh when we know they are weeping?
How can we forget all the dreams they are dreaming?

But the struggle won’t disappear
They feel courage not fear
Their hearts like a tool
Their tears like fuel
They will win the fight
The Pearls of Palestine will Unite

Wa-alaikum Wassalam,

Amanie
