Eli Eli lama sabachthani "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?"
A tiny soul softly crying under the rabble
Help.. Help me please.. Anyone there?
Struggling to lift up a heavy brick that is bigger than his body
He was stuck
Bleeding
but resisting the cage .
Eli Eli lama sabachthani
He cries as Jesus of the Bible
In his final trail
How could you let such blue eyes,
colors of the dark winter skies
to deflower our lands
and disfigure the Holy Land
Aren't we Semites?
Chosenits ,too??
Aren't we humans
entitled to live and thrive
like others?
Aren't we a piece of the puzzle?
In this world,
Do we belong?
Where do we fit?
Is it all mapped out?
Across the borders
you want us to head
leaving behind
A sweet home,
Olive trees,
A tire swing,
A small sand pit,
A slide
Chirping birds
A Morning breeze
A Memory.
Carrying bags
Snapshots
to all directions
you want us to be
Rolling down streets
like empty half-crushed soda cans
pushed by wind,
adding colors to the stripes of yellow and white.
Leaping from a cliff to cliff
In a last-ditch to take off to the sky
like a falcon
pulling by a string.
Up here in Gaza Strip
A new concentration camp
is made under your watchful eyes
O Humanity!!!
We stand mountain high alone
facing covert operations
"Cast Lead" "Pillar of Fire"
Venomous plots
and Apartheid regime
No way out,
No way in
But Stars of David occupying our lonely sky
roaring like thunders
lighting the sky
downpouring hate
with Hell-fire missiles
No moon to see
in our celestial sky
but lights
under fire
in the night
decorating the massacre
no sun to see
but shades sheltered in obliqueness
intensify in the daylight.
dreams are chocked off
and thrown as a core to the street.
Eli,What holds that huge black bird up
what bears its weight
He returns to his soliloquy
How I wish I had a slingshot or a trap!
Somebody must shove his fists into this new Chinese wall
and knock it down
There is nowhere else but here.
Zionist empire errected impenetrable walls
to cover on its ethnic cleansing crimes
There is no extra time but this moment
Up here in Gaza's alleyways.
We are dying in silent
Sighing
Moaning
as I am pushing this brick away from my chest
You must fight
and see us
despite all the lies dangled before your eyes
planting olive trees not bombs
peace not terror
We are all WE not THEY
our skin is stolen
by an ancient killer to create a new face of old drum
You must see
and stop reverberating with joyous accounts:
Jesus's prophecy has been fulfilled
I am Christian too
The wrath on me too
It is not time to talk about prophecies or hide behind a cross
It is time to speak aloud
against the Zionist atrocities
and say Halt ,We need peace on earth.
We need it now.
