Lets us pray for peace in Palestine

From Koky Adel
Lets us pray for peace in Palestine....

If you are driven out of home



And chased through mazes of

wilderness



For all your life?



Whenever a possibility of putting

together a nest surfaces



Everything is burnt down by rain of fire?



If toys were snatched out of your

innocent childrens' hands



And they were handed grenades

instead?



Their delicate-as- petals feet were

forced for life



Onto ways full of thorns?





Having friends of whom expecting

nothing but wounds



And with neighbours who constantly

avoid you



Not even offering night-long shelter



And be expert informers?



Is it at all possible that in this

atmosphere



And inspite of disappointments all

round



You could keep intact your courage,



Your resolve, enthusiasm, zest?



And keep them intact just for a

moment?









If anyone says "yes" to answer these

questions



He must be, dear friend, a Palestinian



And deserving that we bow our head to

him.

May ALLAH bless them
