Baronhawk's Nest

With every bullet
from every gun
and every bomb
from every plane

As the minions
of Israel come
I raise my head
to stake this claim

With every drop
of pristine blood
and every body
the Palestine buries

I place the keffiyeh
over my head
a stolid agal
to hold in place

donning the cloth
taking the cause
a unified voice
that spans the globe

I pen this now
out clear and loud
the killing must stop
the violence resolved

for the bloodied red
o'er black and white
for Palestine's plight
the keffiyah's symbol

take up your pens
raise up your voices
pledge your dinars
shoulder your rifles.

Screeching cannons
screaming guns
filling skies
o'er Palestine.

whistling bullets
whizzing bombs
that tears flesh
of humankind

jutting fingers
jaded eyes
o'er triggers
death's pale stare

women children
men old young
the feed and fodder
of arrogant war.
