A history of imprisonment, which the books will not deceive,
Still, they will turn towards fabrication,
What will they not believe?
Bodies found under rubble, of homes, hospitals and schools,
Yet, they will point fingers to anyone but themselves, the fools,
What will they not believe?
Parents clutching their lifeless children, orphans screaming for their families,
Generations, lineages lost forever as “shields” or “collateral casualties”,
What will they not believe?
Politicians justifying inhumanity,
What will they not believe?
Extremists swearing enmity,
What will they not believe?
Settlers celebrating ethnic cleansing,
What will they not believe?
What will they not believe?
What will they not believe?
If the oppression can be seen clearly,
Why will they not believe?
The hearts have lost sight,
The blind will lead the blind,
The truth will not be perceived,
They will not believe.
