Analysis of Filisteen (Palestine)
Israeli choppers drop down
sheets of paper which state
that Palestinians must start
to quickly evacuate
or else it'll rain bombs
if they are too late
Thus they leave their homes
but where to migrate?
Among the victims who have
in hospitals been crammed
mothers, fathers and babies
Have innocence been damned?
What kind of sinful fault
can a little child make?
to shake his mom's body
hoping she'll wake
Songs and poems were made
by the poets and estranged
with objections and protests
but nothing has changed
Palestine is the country
of the free Palestinians
Palestine is always
and forever Arabian
