When I was a little girl,

I believed rain was the tears of Angels

Mourning the loss of a good soul;

On November 13th, Angels wept all over the World.

The Angels wept

For they saw the roads to Jannah جنة

Full of Palestinian martyrs,

Gone before they could bless Earth.

The Angels wept

When they learned of the decades of injustice:

800,000 olive trees uprooted

Over 42,000 martyrs since 1948.

The Angels wept

And so the ground split in Sweden,

Fires raged in California,

A new island emerged in Japan.

The Angels wept

At the sight of violence,

For the rallies of solidarity;

They plead for Mercy رحمة by their own hands.

The Angels wept

Over 11,000 tears for the World.

Times of Al-Qiyamah القيامة seem near:

Brace yourself for the deluge.

الحياة مقاومة -

الوجود لا جدوى منه

"Life is resistance -

Existence is useless"
