“Words” ? “Useless pieces of paper” ?
And yet, when all is said
this ‘maiden’ is steadfast.
As in: betrothed
UNRWA is task undone
for the People number 2 : 1
Her Promise clear
Her spirit : bold
To temper those
who would cuckold
Put finish this divide. This talk “the other side”
for ‘the people of this country’ will no longer be denied
Those patient for return, within whose heart still burns
the fact: Their home and country is such promise unconfirmed
Where war rewards a victor the confidence befitting
the honour of a Valkyrie. With death become the dream
Where nest become as fastness secured upon a land
through strategies of conquest ‘to enrich a foreign hand’
Through plantation: ripe with purpose to this cause iniquity
Through constructed disadvantage. So as to exile those once free
To a seizure of these lands and thus a silence, native tongue
in a betrayal of the trust that is the must: For everyone
Trust? Look to the words of JFK – as he once wrote “For the eyes of the world”
We shall not see the world governed by a hostile flag of conquest. But by a banner of freedom and peace.
