Palestinian Sunbird

Did the sunbird stop
singing or is the din
here too loud?

Did the sunbird stop
singing because the
dust has made cloud?

Did the sunbird stop
singing because she’s
wearing a shroud?

Did the sunbird stop
singing when the hives
lost their bees?

Did the sunbird stop
singing when they
blocked our sea breeze?

No the sunbird stopped
singing, because there
are no longer trees!
