Dad promise me I won't die
She sobbed as her mother wailed in the background
He could not get home
He could not save her

Mom make them stop
It's too loud and I am scared
I can't feel my legs
Take this metal out of my skin

Oh Salma just close your eyes
Dream that you are a princess
And fly the skies
Rest in peace my child

The birthplace of saints
And the graveyard of angels
Nothing to see here
Just another dead Palestinian

Did we learn from ******
Would we allow another mass genocide to take place?
Stand up people and say
Not in my name!

Because until we do
You and I we are murderers 
As mothers watch the rain of bombs
And we sit at the dinner table as though nothing is wrong

Be critical
Search for the truth instead of being spoonfed
How do your actions contribute to bloodshed
Is your tax aiding war weapons

Of mass destruction
And is CNN reporting truth 
Unbiased and removed
True images polished with lies

Ethnic cleansing
Taking place right before our very eyes
We are not out for revenge or punishment
There are civilians on both sides

But injustice is wrong
And we cannot allow it go go on
Here on the ground in a war torn land
Israelians and Palestinians get on

Pain unites them
But who is fighting them?
Under political agendas
Peace will never embrace them
