Bodies
An echo down a decrepit hallway
Voices that crack through the air
I scream, you scream, we don't all scream
I saw a body
The sad fate of many children
The political issue seemed ignored
Genocide a worry
Yet for me all I can see is bodies
Starvation, Apartheid
Mean nothing to my heartless representer
A liar of democracy
Some who can't seem to fear these bodies
Falling from the floor
People run, people scream
A child walks by a blood sunken street
He stops to think
And can never think again
He's just
A body
No sympathy for “terrorists”
No sympathy for blood in bone
No sympathy for brother and sister
No sympathy
No sympathy for the weak
For they are just but meat
Bodies
You can shoot
You can stare
But i'll never abandon the fact
That I hate bodies
You'll scare me
You'll frighten me
You'll intimidate me
And i'll fear and fret
And cry and scream
“It's not about politics it's about
Bodies”
Courage and bravery
I do not pride myself
But I am done hiding behind a closed curtain
I'm tired of every blood sunken veto
And scared for my brother and sisters
They may not be mine
But for the love of god
Free Palestine
