I’m a hard-hearted woman;
I’ve seen too much of life.
I’ve seen the conflict, I’ve seen the strife.
I’ve seen the kindergarten
with its bombed-out walls.
And I know that your tax dollars
paid for it all.
Killing people in their homes,
in their hospitals, and schools,
was outlawed by the world
after World War II.
Do you need to question why
it breaks all the rules?
Putting people into camps,
and bulldozing where they lived--
so you can steal their land--
is a crime I can’t forgive.
There has to be one Law
for us all, on this planet.
There is no such thing as justice
if everyone can’t have it.
Your people aren’t special,
and no, they’re not “Chosen.”
They’re grandiose fanatics,
shooting, bombing and
bulldozing.
Israel plans on building more West Bank "settlements," emboldened by Donald Trump.
Yes, I have been there.
The title of this poem comes from someone on another poetry site calling me a "hard-hearted woman."

I'm a happy child with
A bright smile and a happy
Warm heart I'm loving life
And my heart I'm happy
Loving each other smiling
From my heart I feel
Heart broken my mother
Has just been killed by
Cowards cowards who
Love evil my heart is slowly
Fading away I'm suffering
From utter pain only wishing
I could feel my mother's love
Never again shall I feel my
Mother's warm heart beating
I'm saddened by life my once
Wonderful bright flaming happy
Heart has burnt out my loving
Mother dead for no reason
I'm shattered by her loss my mother
Has died by evil cowards Israeli soldiers have shot dead my mother my life is no longer worth living
I'm truly dead.

Loving Palestine.
My Heart longs
For peace and
Love true happiness
In Palestine only
A miracle can happen
Sometimes dreams
Come true I pray
The day you
Find peace and
Happiness nobody
Is at peace
Without there freedom.

To the top, they arose
Avoiding every obstacles
They recieved, many applause
Preaching to hit the skulls

Why do you create monsters?
And try to establish the lies?
Why rule the world with errors?
Then blame it on the others?
Countries race against each other and make terrorists work for each and every state. Middle East has become the victim of Israel and US terrorism. While Russia try to capture the Arabian trust.

The soil covers your bare feet in a powdery gray dust
like you've walked through an old fireplace that hasn't been cleaned
in the days since the last sacrifice.

There's enough wood to keep us warm through the coldest winter
or burn heretics to any cold heart's content.
This land is full of burnt offerings
and lucky rams
where it doesn't even take the word of god to sacrifice your child
just the word of man,
imperfect as the path you walk back from alone.
Av-Rahim is a conflation of the Hebrew beginning of the name of Abraham and the Arabic ending of the same name.

Palestinian Liberty


I hear your cries, I harken to your call,
Beautiful children, loving mothers I see you all,
Weeping orphans, bereaved parents I share your tears,
The bombs fall, panic, chaos I feel your fears.

Stay strong children of Palestine,
Stay strong oh family of mine,
For the day shall surely come,
When we will rise up as one.

Mutilated corpses, Rivers of blood,
Severed limbs lay on your sanctified mud,
Upon which prophets and martyrs stood,
Pillars of faith, your forebears, upholding all that is good.

You gave refuge to your captives in their hour of need,
You roots of usurpation, you planted that seed,
Graciously breaking bread with the holocaust survivors,
It is you who carry the standard of the emancipators,
Now it is you who call out for the liberators.

Will we laugh or cry at the irony,
That only the men of Palestine carry the bravery,
That only the women of Palestine bear the humanity,
That only the children of Palestine possess the capacity,

To sacrifice, to provide liberty.
