You might rob me of my last inches of land…
And throw my youth to years of imprisonment…
You might put out a flame in my darkest night…
And deprive me of my mother’s kiss…
You might rob me of a fragment of my dreams…
And deprive our children of the joy of celebrating a Eid with new clothes..
You might build around me walls and walls, enemy of the sun..!
But, I will never compromise..!
And to the very last pulse in my veins, I will fight..!
Such
is the cry of the Palestine children but the world still lays a deaf
ear on it. A nation so torn by war where innocents loose their lives for
what reason? they are Palestinian. Is the world really so blind that
they cant see the atomic bombs being dropped on these people? Are we
really that heartless that we can see a child breath his/her last and
not say a word just because he/she is Muslim?
We
are living in a world where lives of some matter, and in the same world
some lives are overlooked to an extent one might feel inferior to the
other. so much for humanity huh? A day doesn't go by without the death
toll of the children rising, orphans having to watch over their young
ones because their parents were murdered in cold blood but what do we
do as humans? we just overlook the issue.
Maybe
its because you dont really know how much something can hurt you untill
it happens to you. Maybe if this was happening right outside our
doorstep we would actually hasten the reactions. Maybe, we need to be
victims of the same incidences for us to actually give a damn.
Dont
get me wrong i am not trying to instigate anything, I just aim at
airing a cry so much ignored by the world to a point it feels like a
hopeless fight. In Sha Allah one day their cry will be answered. it
takes yours and my input because at the end of the day, their lives
matter too.
May Allah help the children of Palestine.
Ameen.
