Wear those four colors
to shout what my heart speaks,
Free Palestine Right Now

Wear those four colors
because the martyrs' whisper,
We pray for you with them in mind

Wear those four colors
considering its peoples' unfathomable suffering
keeps us wearing them until there is peace

Wear those four colors
so we move forward boldly
in unison with God's message

Wear those four colors
whose beautiful compatibility reaches out and grabs us
reminding you and I that we are one

Wear those four colors
as not to overlook
that the oppressed is counting on us

Wear those four colors
to gorgeously show the world that AL HAMDULILAH,
We Stand With Palestine

*I have published this poem I wrote on 9/5/24 on this site in memory and in mourning of the one year anniversary of the genocide in Palestine by terrorist Israel following the 'Hamas' October 7 attack in Israel.'

An invading thought on the evening of 9/3/24 that initiated the first verse of this poem was inspired by Laila Nahidian, a young lady of Gen Z who chooses to be a voice for the oppressed people of Palestine and does so publicly giving me a reason to keep the flame of my belief that hope lies in the young people alive. I believe considerable progress will be made by their significant contributions. AL HAMDULILAH, Laila, you and others like yourself are an inspiration :)

Laila is a role model in this way. Her parents, Mehdi N. and Atefeh R. are also role models whose many significant contributions to the cause will live on much beyond their years on this planet Earth. Often, the impact of positive influence of positive role models on others shows and continues after the positive role models have passed on. Laila and her parents are members of a revolution for fundamental change, for positive change to achieve justice for all, world peace, and a better world.
