Bodies

An echo down a decrepit hallway 

Voices that crack through the air 

I scream, you scream, we don't all scream 

I saw a body 


The sad fate of many children 

The political issue seemed ignored 

Genocide a worry 

Yet for me all I can see is bodies 


Starvation, Apartheid 

Mean nothing to my heartless representer 

A liar of democracy 

Some who can't seem to fear these bodies 


Falling from the floor 

People run, people scream 

A child walks by a blood sunken street 

He stops to think 

And can never think again 

He's just 

A body


No sympathy for “terrorists” 

No sympathy for blood in bone 

No sympathy for brother and sister 

No sympathy 

No sympathy for the weak 

For they are just but meat

Bodies 


You can shoot 

You can stare 

But i'll never abandon the fact 

That I hate bodies 


You'll scare me 

You'll frighten me 

You'll intimidate me 

And i'll fear and fret 

And cry and scream 

“It's not about politics it's about 

Bodies”


Courage and bravery 

I do not pride myself 

But I am done hiding behind a closed curtain 

I'm tired of every blood sunken veto 

And scared for my brother and sisters 

They may not be mine 

But for the love of god 

Free Palestine
