rest in power shireen abu akleh
what will these walls speak
when it braces
for the endless scream
in the breaking
news?
they feared her armed presence:
a camera
and the voice of a
generation
someone wrote:
“they won’t let us bury her,
they fear the earth
will revolt”
if the truth had a tongue,
this is what it would say
because
our land is fertile,
its fruit cyanide
our flag,
wreaths on caskets
of the deceased
beware your fate,
the world is rumbling
awake
your era of tyranny
is ending
and it is near.
