Where History Aches

in voilk •  27 days ago

    Block by block/they built a divide/
    each crumbling heart/ each war-torn stride/
    amidst the wreckage/ banners unfurl/
    ghosts of the fallen/ memories swirl/

    Nakba

    Generations crushed under the weight of disdain/
    where power is currency/ and truth/ but a chain/
    the world watches closely/ yet turns from the flames/
    false words of compassion/ lost in the blame/

    Intifada/Intifada/

    What price is the heart? What toll on the soul?
    Nations entwine in Israel’s dark role/
    Through convoluted histories/scars never heal
    the cycles of sorrow become all too real/

    From the sea to the river/
    Palestine will live forever/

    Hold on to your hopes/ in the winds that remain/
    in the rubble of buildings/ where lovers once lain/
    in the garden of struggle resilience is grown/
    in the call to fight back/ spirits are sown/

    From the river to the sea/
    Palestine will be free/

    Intifada/ Intifada/ the restless plea/
    for a dawn where the world shall see
