A Child of Jerusalem
Christian, Jew, Muslim,
And Human,
This was a city of Humanity,
All rested and shared here.
We all played here.
Israel, Palestine, Earth,
And flesh and bone,
This was a city of Unity,
All sang and worshipped here.
We all held hands here.
Stones, bullets, drones,
And weeping mothers,
This was a city of Peace,
All fruits and flowers here.
We all ate here.
Anger, violence, fire,
And putrid lies,
This was a city of Truth,
All spoke and respected here.
We all listened here.
Before I was Jerusalem,
Before I was Palestine,
Before I was Israel,
I was a child here.
*We are all forgotten here.
