Put our hands up
and ask for HIS rescue

This morning, I read New York Times' front page headlines
and seeing Palestinian women weeping and wailing 
and Palestinian men with frustrated looks and stances observing them
immediately felt blue

Many people saw the same, very likely and didn't ponder, didn't think twice
Our breakfast dates, then our car washes
we don't really care, we have too much of this world to do

For the ones in Palestine who are repeatedly, consistently grieving and
for the ones who don't see their suffering even when they have seen it
we put our hands up and ask for HIS rescue
