Bombs fall raining on Beirut
Gifts from the children of Zion
The Red Rage of Israel torches
The faces of the Lebanese children
Tearing them from limb to limb
Extinguishing life, hope and faith
Tears falling like rain
Can’t wash away the pain
Peace in the land of cedars
Is gone again
The debris fine as dust
Scatters in the wind
Burning, the flames of destruction,
The stench of corruption
Loss only loss and tears
Families gather loved ones from the rubble
A mother wails, screaming in anguish
Over her baby’s charred body
Around her the ashes of her home smolder
Her husband lies buried in the warm earth of Tyre
Torn to shreds the night before
Where is the Justice?
Where is the Law?
Bush’s wide smile flashes on TV
Smugly smirking happy as can be
Callous heartless immoral foe
Please God save the children from this evil woe
Facts and figures mulling in debate
The fact is
A country is being raped
Hesitating, stuttering politically correct
Gentle protests, waiting to connect
Weak divided voices
From the UN chamber
Vetoed by Big Brother
And no other
“Israel has the right to defend itself”
Bush said so, so it must be true
But who is the enemy?
People, only people like me and you
Frightened politicians scurry and hide
Swept by the Zionist tide
Fear of being on the wrong side
America’s baby Israel
Is screaming for Arab blood
Indiscriminate killing
Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!
Fury unleashed
The burning of Troy
How exhilarating and liberating
To crush the women and children of Lebanon
To raise the cities to the ground
Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!
Someone has to pay
For Hitler’s Day
If all the Arab blood were spilt
Would the wounds of the Holocaust be healed?
How many baby bodies must be thrown like paper and glass?
How many homes and hearts must lie shattered in the wind?
This is our Arab Holocaust
The land....
Rewriting the map, redefining the boundaries is the grail they seek
River to river, the land of the meek
The End of Days, a Zionist neocon plan
From the burning fires of the Arab lands
Their Messiah will come ........?
Condoleezza, the Mona Lisa of war
Wears the mask of decay
The murder of innocents, her history will be
How strange she does not ask of the death or the destruction?
She is not interested in the humanitarian catastrophe
Nor righting this wrong
Instead she bears a loaded agenda
With bullets for Hezbollah
And Syria and Iran
Igniting a Third World War seems like the plan
Where are the voices of the world to say NO!
Stop this madness, Stop this Crime
Before the world is out of time!
Please say NO to this war, to all wars, Say NO to Bush, to Israel,
Say NO to all crimes committed in the name of democracy and religion. It’s time for peaceful resolution, its time to be humane
The world needs to find a common thread, there is too much to lose.
Allowing a minority to ignite such chaos and wreak such havoc will only bring the diverse cultures of the world into a mass conflict.
These massacres in the Middle East need to be stopped NOW!
Before more innocent people die, before more children’s tiny bodies are torn, burnt and dismembered.
How can anyone who watches the news covered by the Arab media or even BBC World for that matter not be moved to tears?
It’s appalling. It’s outrageous. It’s dangerous to world stability.
It’s state terrorism. It’s cold-blooded premeditated murder behind which a seething frightening unashamed hatred has revealed itself in the most hideous manifestation.
The carnage in Qana brought the world to its feet in protest, but to what avail?
Will the Israelis stop this evil elimination of innocents?
How many more will die before their venom is spent?
America’s taxpayers’ billions and diplomatic cowardice are a deadly partnership; the results stare back at us from our television screens: Deadly technology and a license to kill.
Why does Hamas exist?
Why does Hezbollah exist?
Visit Lebanon tonight and you shall have your answer
