Message from a Martyr
Fire your bullets -- our hearts are already ablaze
In this land, grief wells up from my distress
Fire your bullets -- you villain -- for I
Won't play at murder or run away
My blood fertilises and refreshes this land
And plants a promising generation that is fully conscious
Limbs grow from seeds of shrapnel
Hands are formed and crowns spring
That bet this land will always be their home --
In every corner they stand their ground
Wherever I am, this land is my passion
Nostalgia is fused with this timeless love
I don't care if there are explosions
I don't mind the annihilating thunder

The same poem could easily have been written by an Israeli. Suffering by two peoples. Time for compassion - time to stop taking sides
