One Day, You’ll be Free

A Sonnet for Palestine

One Day, You’ll be Free

Emaciated child, starved by design

Eviscerated, by malicious lies

Oppressed, by occupiers without spines

Who slaughter innocents with barren eyes

*

Your mangled bodies, buried beneath greed

Deaths weaponized, for bureaucratic gains

Their soldiers laugh, committing awful deeds

Like sniping children, just for seeking grain

*

Oh, Palestine, I hear your weary cries

The world is slowly waking from the veil

Revealing truths, attempted genocide

Your suffering soon ends, justice will prevail

*

Though enemies refuse to heed your pleas

Dear Palestine, one day, you will be free
