When the once butchered
become butchers themselves
in a world where nothing's learned
not from the first not from the second
but only how to trample neighbours rights
your brothers and sisters from a shady past
In that sad world you were shining your light
where you spoke for those without a voice
you voiced the occupied unable to speak
but you lay suddenly still and silenced
assassinated, so brutally murdered
by a nation strayed from the One
****
Rest daughter of Canaan sleep
daughter of Palestine in truth
be blessed for all your work
salam Shireen Abu Akleh
your death'll resonance
the upcoming verdict
****
