Loved life and his sport
Moazez Abayat
Was a bodybuilder, much loved by his people
The people of Palestine
But his envious oppressors
/the organised thugs of the Yamam Unit/
/hostaged/ dragging the big man into the Etzion prison/
They were satiated by the theft of his peoples lands
So they caged and tortured his mind and sculpted body/ for 9 months/
Our Titan Atlas carried the emancipation of his people
and the liberation of his oppressors on his shoulders
It was at Etzion/ where they broke his feet/ pummelling him/
hoping to cripple his love for liberation/
/They tried to cut him down to size/
/but it was them/
who became /less than human
