I Remember

Written By:  D. Collins 10/25/23


To misuse the word indoctrination just ain't right.
If 70% of your land was taken, would you stand up and fight?
I remember rocks against bullets not long ago.
And Palestinian youth shot dead lying in rows.
I remember the fight lasting longer than all wars combined.
Because what is now called Israel use to be Palestine.
We could slap a "terrorism" tag on just about anything.
Lest we forget how America came into being.
I can remember and I'm really not that old.
This is just the way a true story really should be told.
This is not about Hamas more than an extermination.
You hear in their heart when they say "indoctrination".
