Standing in a line that never ends I wait my turn with so called disgrace Everyone passes before me My turn never comes My legs hurt,my nerves tense Identity remains a dream The cries of Palestine miles away I feel Screams and shouts so near But they can’t hear I wish I knew how they speak But for them I make no sense For my language they can’t convey A language of humanity, love and peace Identity remains a dream Oh Lord I kneel Justice I plead If guilty I’m judged Freedom I seek In shame I dwell Rights are stolen Dignity ***** A debt I can’t clear A bill I can’t pay It burns my heart My legs hurt, my nerves tense I stand in line I wait my turn But it never comes Palestine remains a dream.
this poem was written after i tried to put myself in Palestinians' shoes and see the world from their perspective.
