Palestinian Children!

Countless times
these silent voices
they were drowned
inside the caves of the world
and also, late on the lips
they were never released
in the alleys of time.
Always mutilate in hearts
the innocent voices of children
I'm still here in the dark
and they scream the pain in the words
heavy as hammers
their fate remains written
in death which is the due end.

Inside The Walls Of Palestine

Broken destinies
already marked by the war
in the hearts of all children
in circles in Palestine
heroes without land
or innocent victims
they tell the story
the events of a People
ended up in prison
inside the historic prison
of the indifference of power.
Inside the walls of this country
you can smell the smell of death
around the acrid smoke
shadows
they go away into the sky
and warm blood
still flows through the veins
and the rivers red with horror
they flood all around
and in the world
dull consciences.
Tortured meat
from human violence
from justified bombs
from the forgotten Faith
from criminal hatred
and from the Creed
remained on the Cross
and so their mouths remain silent
in the silence of reason
and in desperate mourning
of the families left alive.

Your War Is Genocide!

Stop man
in the name of your God
your reaction is criminal
your breath
poisons everywhere
innocent souls
wounds mortally
human beings similar to you
as if they were human spit
meat for slaughter.
Your sharp razors
they are deadly weapons
the streets are full of blood
your war is genocide
in every corner of the country
even the stones cry
and you man remain impassive
coldly you are in the eyes
full of false light
a faithless murderer.
