Only in Palestine

 
In Palestine, good and evil assemble

In stark contrast

An epitome of creation
 
 
In Palestine, heroism meets malice head on 

No concealment, no pretence
 
 
In Palestine, kindness confronts bitterness

Mercy grows defiant

“Never forget and never forgive” mantra is brought to shame
 
 
In Palestine, walls all around 

Yet, sitting on the fence is no longer an option 

One must choose a camp
 
 
In Palestine, from prophetic schools saints and angels graduate 

Yet, out of sorcery spells fiends and devils are frothed into being
 
 
In Palestine, hatred is a chain, millennia old 

Pulling to Hell of depravity

 Beasts who promote
 
 
In Palestine, endurance is a meadow, blossoming through parched soil

Painting the horizon

Tears of elation and whispers of devotion
 
 
In Palestine, tenderness is a melody, sung by Gaza shores

Growing in abundance, filling hearts and minds

Dancing at twilight, healing girls and boys
 
 
In Palestine, love is a rainbow, shimmering above

 Lifting to Heavenly splendour 

Sublime nostalgic souls
 
 
In Palestine, faith is ocean-deep

Patience knows no boundaries

Sincerity soft-tactile and hope... sky-wide
 
 
In Palestine, sinners are repentant

The pious clothed in modesty and lovers intertwined
 
 
In Palestine, sisters made queens, brothers are protectors

Children are adored, fathers held up high

but under mothers' feet Paradise is laid down
 
 
In Palestine, the hungry is fed, the lonely is embraced

The lost will be guided and the searching will find
 
 
Nahida
