The Palestinians of today

 

The Palestinians of todayAre the Jews of yesteryear

Those who refuse to learn from historyFrom their history of survival,struggle and hope are doomed

Those who stray from the cause
the cause of the poor and the downtrodden
from the oppressed and the vilified
have crossed over to the other side

They will be reincarnated
in the image of their own oppressors
that’s just simple karma

The people’s demands are rooted
in the soul of the earth and rubble
where the rivers of blood flow without conscience

Is it too much to ask for
A right to Life and dignity
Equality and Justice for All?
