Devoted to the Palestinian People

 
The war on the
Palestinian people
is one of the most
despicable
and inspiring
human stories
of all time

The Palestinians
are the canary
in the mines
they are the picture
of where Mr. Big
intends to take
all of us

Extract our resources
water, oil, nat gas,
minerals
our labor
everything is
a dollar

Place don't matter
to the oligarchy
their heart
long ago
surrendered
to darkness
they lost the feel
for land
and community
for la famiglia

Their war
comes from a rage
they must feel
having given
their heart
to the darkness
maybe they
were wounded
as a child
and now take
it out on
the world

But the
Palestinian people
are so connected
to earth
olives
the cycle of live
shared community
they have deep
inner strength
that keeps resisting
the evil doings
of Mr. Big
this is why people
around the world
stand with them


One blood
