Sanctioned Sanctuary

They hide behind the tallest mountains,

The young boys live in discarded tunnels,

The families’ in war torn tents

Bruised with ruins are everyday lives,

The houses too flatten and destroyed,

The trees and crops wiped out as well,

They control the water,

And try to control the rain,

The way they have the terrain,

They have power over the lights,

Occupiers are devoid of any true light,

Their hearts are worse than of corpses,

They penetrated using evil forces;

These are cowards in the eyes of the courageous,

Bullying innocence with heavy armaments,

Over the years their treachery and barbarity,

Resulted into a mountain of innocent carcasses,

They killed mothers and our forefathers,

They took our rights and privileges,

Left with nothing but anguish and deceased,

Dreadful circumstances and so little choices,

They entered our villages and pillaged,

And turned neighborhoods into wrecked empty fields,

Till today it still goes on,

A never-ending debauchery, it seems,

Till today the worst crimes against humanity goes on,

And everybody lives on,

As if there's nothing wrong.



Though our brothers are against us,

And as they pray,

They beautify their prayers,

So people will watch and perhaps applause,

Since our brothers refuse kindness and empathy,

Still they gloat flaunting their white robes,

These are the people,

Who frequents the mosques,

Yet the orphans are left accursed,

The poor and malnourished,

Repulsed and left to rot.


Change comes from within,

We show compassion through our deen,

With good intentions and authenticity;

Not to end up a malicious hypocrite.



This phenomenon spreading,

Tyrants and despots are reigning,

Influenced are the rich in atrocities,

Corrupted and deceiving,

Cruel and mistreating,

Our own brand of Zionist reign,

Even Pharaohs and Caligulas,

They lurk and embark,

To plot and hoodwink,

They succeed in misleading.



This is the state that we live in,

This is the journey we are in,

This is the world we find meaning,

The battle of an ordinary man,

Against a world full of misgivings;

Glory to those who keep on striving.
