Oh Palestine-By Shelia Chughtai

Oh Palestine!

Oh Palestine!

How could the entire world be so blind?

All the fighting, battling and bloodshed

The very same place were Esa crucifed and bled

Oh Palestine!

Oh Palestine!

How could the entire world be so blind?

Many innocent lives tragically gone

Fighting in the Holy Land-what went wrong?

Remember here in the west when the settlers killed off the Indians

This is what is happening to the Palestinians.

Oh Palestine!

Oh Palestine!

How could the entire world be so blind?

If a muslim army tried to defend you and your land

Would the world see you differently, would it really understand?

Oh Palestine!

Oh Palestine!

How could the entire world be so blind?

If colonialism, apartheid, and slavery is supposedly gone

Then why is there fighting in the Holy Land-what went wrong?
