Palestine

Oh, Palestine
Cry, cry generously
Cry more
Let your tears wash their sins
Let your tears wash their brutality

Oh, Palestine
Struggle, struggle endlessly
Struggle more
Let your people teach them,
The meaning of "Dignity"

Oh, Palestine
Live, live happily
Live more
Let them learn how to dream
Let them see how we challenge bravely

Oh, Palestine
Grow, grow prosperously
Grow more
Let your people raise you high
Let your name reach the sky

I can't find word's to describe how proud I'm to have a Palestinian girl who supports her country.... They will see that there's no more brave men's more than Palestinian men's or even women's we r the country of courage and the Palestinian flag soon we'll be raised up high....

The Palestinian flag is waving high in everywhere. We peacefully did it and we would liberate it very soon. Thank you for reading my poem.

Do you like to read more about "Palestine"? or more poems written by me? In all cases, it is my pleasure. I'll add more soon, I'm sorry for my late reply. In Gaza, the outage lasts for 18 hours daily! That's why I can't check this site frequently// Blackmatta
