Scoop Poem: Palestine's Dance of Life
Palestine's Dance of Life
Defeats Israel's
Dance of Death
By Genevieve Cora Fraser
As Israeli
soldiers beat
The drums of death
Palestine's women
dance
A Dabkeh to life
In the strong, brave face
Of a suffering people
Palestinian woman stand
On
the land of their birth
Between the devil
Whose feats
are mighty
And the Lord of Justice
Who sees the
Truth
Tread wheels spike
The tread mills of agony
As
Palestine's woman stand
In resistance to IDF
bullies
Razing Palestinian property
But not their
Rights
The Wall of Ignorance
Built higher than
Truth
Stands as a Memorial
To Israeli Injustice
A
bloodthirsty desire
To steal and ravage
But the
community of saints
The martyrs and the
massacred
Hover over the madness
The Zionist legacy
has wrought
A desecration to the Terra
Sancta
Transposed and restored
By Palestine's Dance of
Life
