Children of God
Oh, Children of Palestine!
I infer from your silence …
From far,
I hear cries of the petrified
I hear grouses of thousand muted vagabonds
I see,
Sullen looking women with bloodied hands
Lining up the streets
Submissive, I doubt that
A sober reminder that anger exist
And hate clouding minds persist
The children of God are helpless!
It is due to the negligence of man
Leaders with morbid fascination
Leaders that betray humanity
Leaders engrossed with greed
I seek,
To comprehend their distasteful philosophy
They’re misguided in their path
Knowingly seeking The Godly Wrath
Obliterate their sinful footprints
They have disobeyed
Occupied by worldly possessions
Shows no pity in constant time
Will remorse comes too late?
When end of time sees man no more human?
Worry no more little ones!
For your brisk life is never bland
Stand with your feet on the barren sand
In the blistering heat from your walk to your crawl
With God’s directions your fate befalls.
