Song Of Jenin By Indira Rai-Choudhury

Written in the blood of Martyrs to those that did nothing

July 22, 2004

Not enough tears on earth to wash away the blood Not enough blood on earth to wash away the pain Not enough faith on earth to take away my shame

Pain in my heart too hard to bear Shame in my heart for when I looked.. My brother was not there

I held up my head in pride When the soldiers came They never broke the man inside Never flinched in pain, never gave up my pride I fought In Allah's name For justice I would have died

Couldn't you hear the cries Couldn't you feel the pain Didn't you realize The butcher was back again Fought a tank with a stone But never thought I'd fight alone

Pain in my heart too hard to bear Shame in my heart for when I looked.. my brother was not there

Did you hear me call your name I tried to hold my ground But no one ever came No enemy cuts so deep As when brother watches brother slaughtered like a sheep

What no gun could ever do You have done to me I have lost much faith in you and my heart will never be whole or happy or healed Until Palestine is free Until Islam sees unity

Earth, a planet hungry for peace
