Please Stop!

Stop! and look at that little child

Who lives in that raped land

Who lost the father and the guide

Who lost the mother and being by her side.

Stop! and break the silence

By your voises and your goodness

Stop! and bring the happiness

For the palestinians who live in sadness

We rise at the sounds of our mothers

They rise at the sounds of bombs

Fear is  part of every breath they take

Panic is  part of every action they make.

All this! and our lips are still sealled!

Our consciousness is not yet penetrated!

Our eyes are still closed!

So it is time to refuse being treated as cattle

It is our battle.

we saw.....

I saw you hugging your children

With a lovely way

I saw you hunging ours with

A fearful rope

We saw you kissing your families

With great love

We saw you raping ours

With a barbaric behaviour

They saw you dividing cakes to your families

They saw you dividing bodies of ours

You raped our virgin land

You covered the sun

By your hellish hands

You killed our childhood dream

By your soldiers guns

but!!!!

Don't you know that the light

will rise again?

That the raped land will recover?

That the broken feets will stand?

The moon and the sun

when i saw you

I knew that you are the sun

Which can light my dark nights

Which can sprinkle its rays

On my frowzen soul

I knew that you are the candle

Which can revive my feelings again

Which can bring back the hope

To my hopeless life

I dreamt to hold your hands

To hug you strongly

To feel your warm breath

To shed your tears

In an exeptional world

I dreamt that we were traveling across

the univers

Across the islands of love

During the travel a star told me

That you are the sun and i'm the moon

but!!!

I fear that the sun has another moon

Just a dream

Out of the world i wanna live

Far away from people to be safe

There in heaven under that calmness

There where the angels of happiness

Are lighting the candles of childhood

Carrying the souls of brotherhood

On trees of golden wood

There in heaven where

I dreamt to find my fate

With the flower which

Made me forget my birthday date

And now my flower tells me

That we are not late

Let's wait;and be sure

That in heaven we shall meet

I told her that we should hurry

because the time runs very fast

And this moment is the last

"in that time someone said:

Wake up it is the breakfast."

Bad feeling encircles my soul

Hungs it till i lose the hope

of comming back

A painful feeling hurts me inside

Cuts the veins of my heart

Breaks my broken spirit

And the light is about to leave

Whereas the darkness became very near

I feel that the world as if it wants to stop

As if it wants to take me away

And the world thinks that i will beg it

To let me live...no no no

even i wouldn't say i'll miss you

I would say that's better,than living

Without a meaning.
