So on Saturday 9th May 2021 I woke up to the absolutely heart breaking news about our brothers and sisters in Palestine. The night before (Friday 8th May 2021) Masjid Al-Aqsa was stormed by Israeli terrorist soldiers while taraweeh prayers were being performed. These soldiers had no reason to be there other than to cause trouble. Israel will spin this and say it was an act of self defence but the pictures tell a completely different story. 50 innocent people were injured including women and children. Then on Sunday 10th May 2021, which marks an ‘Israeli’ National Holiday, ‘Jerusalem Day’ in which they celebrate and commemorate ‘the reunification of Jerusalem’ and the establishment of Israeli control over the Old City in the aftermath of the June 1967 Six-Day War. The Israelis, celebrate it by marching through the ‘Old City of Jerusalem’ in particular the Muslim Quarter, chanting and provoking the Palestinians. That morning Al-Aqsa was stormed once again by the Israeli Police force, in preparation for ‘Israeli Settlers’ to enter the blessed Masjid. This is clearly a terrorist response to the on going situation in Sheikh Jarrah where Palestinians have been peacefully protesting against Israel allowing illegal settlers to steal their homes and six Palestinians families are being forced out of their homes illegally by May. As none of the media outlets are reporting accurately on this I thought I would have my say, this is my poem, “More than just a slogan”.
Another Ramadan and I’m sitting in my bed
Check my phone, loads of messages, let’s see what people have said
No, what I’m reading I just can’t believe
They’ve actually stormed Al-Aqsa on the 26th eve
Do these Israeli terrorist have no shame?
They’re marching into sacred ground just to cause pain
And all this for land that don’t even belong to them
I hear my brothers and sisters crys and my heart just melts for them
Need to get on the social and tell people what’s going on
People need educating as what they’re being fed by the media is wrong
Bias news outlets are trying to spin the situation
Having people believe this is just about the Muslim nation
No wait, this is more than just us raising our hands
This is about Israel stealing land
And no they have no legal right to it
They just go in, shoot up, and just bloody take it
They expect us to shut up while this is going on
They expect us to shut up while they’re just dropping bombs
They expect us to shut up while kids get taken from their moms
Well no, now I won’t shut up coz this here is plain wrong
Free Palestine
This is more than just a slogan
More than just a T-shirt
More than just a hashtag
Free Palestine
This is more than just a poster
More than just a banner
More than wearing the flag
Now I’m waiting to see what world leaders say about this
Coz so many UN resolutions have been violated
Come on Borris, come on Biden, what are you both saying?
Are you finally gonna admit you fund Palestinians dying?
No?
Didn’t think so
The U.S gives $3.8 billion to these terrorists
That’s a yearly figure, let’s not confused this
The Israelis are terrorists and the Palestinians have to just run and hide
This isn’t a conflict it’s systematic genocide
Ethnic cleansing, apartheid, call it what you will
The Israelis have one mode, that’s shoot to kill
Now that’s established what can we do?
It’s up to us, more than ever that statement is so true
The time has come brothers and sisters, get ready for Jihad
Chill, not with a sword, but a pen and a note pad
Our voices must be heard, Palestine must be freed
We have to all come together to help Palestinians in need
Free Palestine
This is more than just a slogan
More than just a T-shirt
More than just a hashtag
Free Palestine
This is more than just a poster
More than just a banner
More than wearing the flag
