Welcome To Freedom (Political Piece)
*** First and foremost, I had to edit this piece a bit because of the profanity in the
original version (however, I will follow the rules) This piece was based on several
images of children that were shot because of the Israel-Palestinian conflict in the middle
east. i do not mean to offend anyone with my work, and if so, I do apologize. I would
link the pictures, but I see that's against the rules too. I hope you all enjoy!
Bullet's ricochet through babies flesh
Blood splattered his age on the pavement
Tattooed the mother's hands with the assassin's name
Silent cries echoed through Jerusalem
As his bones shattered to feces
Chest burns as the last breath of innocence is inhaled
Dusting his ashes through the hills of Bethlehem
Through the mist of the familiar laughter coming from the militant vocals
Church bells ring and prayers are enchanted
Because another infant's longevity to life has failed
Killing these children one by one
Has become a heroin addiction to the Zionist system
Shooting needles injected with bullet wounds and missiles
Gunshots travel through the pulmonary chamber
Leaving these children to numbness, blind visions and darkness
One way tickets to Heaven
Where his fellow brothers and sisters greet him at the gate
"Welcome to freedom" is inscribed on his name plate
He asked God why his time approached so soon
And silence lingered it's way through the clouds
Before he heard an angel speak aloud
"Medical physicians couldn't save you because it was a second too late"
And the clouds begun to shed rain storms
Angels and children crying, hand in hand
While humming warm scriptures from the Qu'ran
*********
The reality of this is simple,
A different young "terrorist" gunned to their casket
Satisfied the militants statistics
Now their count is one closer to a million...
