Little bird, little bird,
Why don't you fly?
Are the fences to high?
Are the boundaries to big?
Are you lost or hungry?
Are you lonely or sick?
Let me see your wings,
Little bird, they are clipped.
Little bird, little bird,
Don't look at the sky.
Just sing in the dust.
Just scratch in the sand.
Just hop in holes.
Just peck till you bleed.
The stones are your food.
And your nest is the street.

Soaring above Gaza City,
Blue skies everywhere, everywhere.
Skies with no fences, no camps.
I see the prison.
I land on the roof and then find
My Father's tiny window. So tiny.
How can anyone live with so little sky?
I take him a piece of the blue.
Now he can live one more day.
I will be back tomorrow,
I tell him.

Rising through the smoke,
I streak upward.
I circle the palms with their
Open leaves pressed to the sky
They are calling me to
Come sit on them, but I do not.
I ride the shifts in the wind,
Higher, the lower, then higher still.
At last I'm free of the fire,
The smoke, the sound of the battle.
Free to be with Father.

I am the child of Palistian
I have my cause and I have my rights
When I see my older brother
Taken up into the outlaw's hands
I cry out the international cry
That if they shoot me to my death
I'll clutch a stone in my hand
And never forget the martyrs' cause

This shirt is all that i have left
of my angel who passed before i awoke
the air turned cold as a brezze came in
she smiled before her breathing had stopped
i turn on my side to grab her hand witch was ice cold
i get out of bed to look at her face
shocked to see her eyes not closed and her smile frozen
grabbing her shoulder i look at her watch
the time was 2:15am when her time had passed
the ambulance came rolled her into the van
looking my eyes water seeing her being taken away
i hold on to this shirt holding it tight
my memories i want to keep forever
i only want the memories of my wife and our life

*i'm not the diamond in every ring
i am not the splash in every raindrop
i am not the caffeine in your coffee
i am not the sugar in your taffy
i am not the stars in your night sky
i am no longer the sparkle behind your chocolate-coloured eyes
but i am the pain in your ensemble of distressing words
and unfortunately, i am no longer yours*

endlessly searching for
knowledge in a world of
fear,
we are the white knights of
our generation.
