Palestine
by Ali Ashhar
Endurance flows in their veins
thicker than blood
all these grenades, bullets and guns
tired of slacking their never-ending courage
etched on
the walls of their heart
is the cause--
their history, their identity.
Climates change, calendars change,
but the spirit of Palestinians
can never be changed
out of the ugliest mirrors of pain
this land reflects the most beautiful
image of a warrior
from the seeds of their blood
this garden shall bloom forever
as long as the date on this earth is written
the glorious name of Palestine shall be taken.
