Her life was stolen a brutal end
Justice delayed a slow cruel end
And little Hind Rajab killed and
Her body lay a stark and silent thing
Beneath the weeping willow's gentle sway
And her blood flowing everywhere
As evil fills the air and the
The killer escapes a coward's bend
And on the streets we stop and pray
A life once bright now she rests beneath
The stars every night and
A silent scream a life in vain
****** never ending in Palestine
And it's a terrible shame and
The memories of Hind Rajab
Will never fade away and your
Smile is deep in our hearts every day
And you where so pure and sweet and
Your country Palestine mourns your loss
And hearts that beat now carry heavy chains And we truly miss you Hind Rajab
And every night I light a candle just for you
And for every silent cry that meets the dawn
A question lingers echoing in vain
And Hind Rajab we will forever and always remember you.
Hind Rajab, was a five-year-old Palestinian girl, in Gaza. As her family sought to escape the relentless bombardment in Tel al-Hawa, their car was mercilessly targeted by an Israeli tank in an attack that can only be described as a war crime. Hind survived the initial barrage, only to be left alone in the blood-soaked car, surrounded by the bodies of her loved ones. Her desperate cries for help, as she begged for rescue on the phone with emergency services, moved hearts around the world. The ambulance that was sent to save her, after hours of negotiation, was obliterated by the Israeli army, ensuring that Hind's life was cruelly and deliberately extinguished.
