"What was the crime of the Palestinian child?" a poem on Palestine by Ahmad Ibsais

 

The crime of the Palestinian child

a poem on Palestine

 
 

What was the crime of the Palestinian child?

What warranted their death?

Why did their parents’ tears

And the child’s blood, water the soil?

Why do you kill

when the air you breathe is ours

the clouds in the sky, ours?

Why do you imprison us in our country

and punish us for living

When you are the fire that burns the land?

That which we will eventually return and rebuild

Why do you build upon our bones

and expect it not to crumble beneath your bloodied boots?
