Peace With Conflict (Palestine) Poem by Abdul-Qadir Abdul-Mumin

Over seven decades and I'm still grieving
My future leaders just keep dying
Their future is not certain but in hanging
Destruction persecution and killing
Snatching away my smile and installing
Fear and a wrong horrible feeling
My songs are 'screaming' and 'crying'
I spent most of my days in fear and I have been hoping
For a change because I'm tired of hiding
I strike back and I'm labelled a terrorist
A bomber
A menace
A threat
I'm all these because I refused to be cheated
I stood up to fight for myself and my children
I prefer to die knowing they will enjoy after I am gone
They have never seen complete joy since they were born
Freedom for me and my children
Freedom for Palestine
