A Palestinian’s lament.


What crime have I committed
Why am I being penalized?
Honor my humanity, is all I ask for
For that why am I being demonized?

I am starving, no food
I can’t quench my thirst
I don’t have medicines
Don’t you find this as unjust?

My house is now in rubbles
I have no place to shelter
You bomb places considered as safe
Once peaceful life now helter-skelter.

I am not Hamas
I didn’t attack you
I was minding my own business
Living my life just like you.

You said never again to Holocaust
Now that shoe is in the other foot
You say it’s not genocide
30,000 of us murdered, is not moot.

I want you to look in the mirror
And ask your soul
Are your actions moral?
Surely Devil must be in control.

No human will treat other human this way!!
All of us are God’s children.
