I Am Palestine Poem by Aboda Awed

I Am Palestine

Rating: 4.1


I am Palestine

I'm not a painting where you can change my colour
Nor a book where you can swop me for another
Or change my name to suit the face
Or change the character or the place


Nor change the position given to me by Allah

Or use a legalisation to make me bleed even further
And build walls to corner
The children of Palestine

I'm with a name, a home, a way of life
And what I want is you take a skin dive
And see the ocean of blood that flows through me
Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers who would've still be alive
If you had the courage to save me,

I am Palestine

What you care what the media says about me
They cannot change, paint or corrupt my true identity
It cannot be erased or imprisoned in politicians love for money
It cannot be hidden by corrupt leaders who don't hear me
Nor those who use me to create some superficial destiny

I am Palestine

Tanks may roar, planes and missile poison the sky
Thousands to millions may die
And still you, O Ummah, you lie
Living, speaking my name and cry
When I want action

I am Palestine

Do something, write, march, shout, reply
For the tears of my children pain me deeply when they cry
I wish I could hold them like eagles that fly
Carry them to a place so safe instead of hearing them cry, 'why, '

A billion strong can shine through
O Ummah! What is wrong with you? !

I am Palestine

This is inaccurate. If you were truly a Palestine, you would have added more rape and pillaging. Allah is displeased.

Worldwide people know that on May 14 in 1948 Israel forcefully occupying some areas of Palestine established a Jewish State. Since then Israeli people (all walks of life including military, non-military and others) have been torturing, oppressing, murdering, massacring, destroying, ....... Palestinian innocent people, their houses, offices, properties, ............... The world now demands Palestinians rights and Israelis penalty, ....... this comment is over arguments, .......

Is when ill advised comments are removed promptly. Admin is asleep at the wheel on this site. Not only that they favour Indians who write thousands of scribblngs. Reward them with top positions in 500 poets. I ask you what is this Treasure Island sh...ithole about. Answer MONEY from advertisers.

Local publishers = no money = not good enough to do it as a profession.
