Occupying Your Territories

By Muna Bushra

They will keep you occupied
make sure you lose your mind
like a bullet dashing forward
make sure you lag behind ...

Occupying your territories
occupying your land
diminishing your resources
while they expand

Don't be fooled by their evils
you will see them every day
leading you all to nothing
nothing but astray

They will keep you occupied
make sure you lose your mind
like a bullet dashing forward
make sure you lag behind ...

They will make you remember
their suffering and their pain
expecting empathy and pity
while they just do the same

You will see them in every city
scattered in every town
and they'll make sure you all
lose your solid ground

They will keep you occupied
make sure you lose your mind
like a bullet dashing forward
make sure you lag behind ...

They reclaim their gold and riches
while it gets toppled every day
same time eradicate olive trees
bulldozed like stacks of hay

They will make you degenerate
wile they march straight ahead
find ways to erase the truth
before it gets too late

They will keep you occupied
make sure you lose your mind
like a bullet dashing forward
make sure you lag behind ...
