Viva Palestina! Poem by DM W

O all wars result inbloodshed and splintered bones.
This one has been going on for many decades.
The lightness of the children's hearts has turned to stone.
People have been driven from their land. So we say
This brutal occupation has to end right now.
I'm sure you've seen it on slogans and signs.
We world citizenswant'Justice for Palestine'.
We know thatmainstream media always cow tows
To government and big business; it never changes.
We cannot rely on it to strengthen our cause.
So let our resistance echo throughout the ages.
Our mission is simple; we want to end this war.
Gaza is the biggest open air prison camp
In the world: where food, water and resources are scant.
We must try to put a stop to the bigotry;
Which, in time, has created untold misery.
O we must take time to explore the history:
The ethnic cleansing of the late 1940's
We can take to the streets; we can express ourselves via
Art, music and poetry: ' Viva Palestina!
