Blood On Your Hands:Israel

The flowers of hope lay trampled,
Destroyed by a world so cruel,
Mothers, whose eyes sparkled with life,
Now left shattered, a lifeless pawn, 

Hypocrisy is what defines you,
A land that never belonged to you, 
The ridiculousness of your claims,
Oh, so plain for all to see.

You wiped away the little ones,
Who had dreamed to do big things,
Why did you choose to kill them? 
Is it their faith that made you scared?

You, the cowards, bombarded their homes,
Afraid to face them like men,
Ashamed of your brutality,
Your actions condemned once again.

And now, the stars too, have disappeared,
Gone, far away...
