Free Palestine

They ask “Why do you call for Palestine to be free?”

We say “So all the people can live in harmony

Not some in fancy houses, and others refugees

Keys around their necks for the homes they had to flee.”

They say “What do you mean by the river to the sea?”

We say “That is the land that we’re calling to be free

Free from all the murder, free from all the hate

Not free from any people, no matter what their faith“

And therein lies the difference - we seek to include

Not separate and segregate, and ration peoples’ food

We’re witnessing a Nakba and there’s nothing we can do

But call for a free Palestine - stand up for what is true
