The Palestinian "Terrorist"
By Omar Edaibat
March 18, 2004
Distraught and debased, perpetually enraged
Like an animal or a bird so callously encaged
Do you not hear? His recalcitrance is deep to the bone
Hunger, misery, plunder, a torrential of incessant terror
Yet it is he who is depraved and the fount of all error
Do you not ponder? His indignation is but fuel to his resistance
Alas! It is not them, it is not us, it is but he who is “The Cancer”
In the midst of this sickening carnage so clear to all is the answer
Do you not see? His cancer is but the cause of occupation’s “Radiation”
Bombs, tanks, guns, every conceivable tool and military weapon
Perniciously bombarded, endlessly humiliated by this toxic venom
Do you not understand? His resistance shall never cease
Impetuously unwavering for his brethrens’ emancipation
In spite of all simmering desire for his spirit’s encapsulation
Do you not know? It is him whom they call the Palestinian “Terrorist”
Omar Edaibat, Ottawa, Canada
