What They Don't Have...

- The years pass by, but the pain doesn't heal. What they have lost, our hearts will never feel.
I wake up in the morning complaining about the sun catching my eye, my Palestinian brothers and sisters wake up wondering if today’s the day they’re gonna die.

I go to the kitchen and think about what to eat; they look around and think “this is another day of starvation we’ve got to beat”.

I don’t listen to my parents, I don’t let their voices get heard, the children of Palestine whisper each sentence as if it could be their last word.

I cry over petty arguments, I cry if I get told off, they don’t want their tears to fall but they still cry in hope.

Minutes pass by and I don’t thank Allah for every breath, while they beg not to lose theirs in this terrible death.

While I lie down, planning another day again, my Palestinian brothers and sisters live another 24 hours in pain.

They weep for mercy, for forgiveness and for victory they plead, so why can’t we take a minute and do just one good deed?

Oh Palestine, don’t weep, stay calm, have faith in Allah [swt] for He shall shelter you from harm.

[Please make dua for the people in Gaza, while they suffer, we are living in comfort. We throw abuse at Isreal, we attend demonstrations and protests showing how we feel about the situation, but is this really helping? What matters more is our dua's, as sincere as they can be. We need to turn to Allah [swt] and inshaAllah He shall ease their pain and suffering and grant them the highest in Jannah. Ameen.]
