Save the Children of Palestine

Prof. M Zahidul Haque

by Prof. M Zahidul Haque

Faqqua Iris

Trampled under the boots

Of brutal Israeli soldiers!

Their only errand

Is to staining hands

With fresh bloods of-

People and children of Palestine!

No weapon, no war-plane

To retaliate –

The brutal acts of-

The savage Israeli military men!

Palestine’s Sunbird-

Continuing her mission

To deliver message across

The mountain-

Intimating the Nature,

The heart-rending plight

Of the people of Palestine!

Little girl Faduma

Never broken down

On destroying of her doll house

By the bombing from Israeli war plane.

Still, courageously they encountering

Bullets and baton-

Charged by the bloodthirsty

Israeli army men!

Would the magnanimous

People of the Universe

Raise concern to stop genocide-

And efface the bloodstain

Of bleeding people and

The children of Palestine?
