Eye to Eye

Look into my eyes

And tell me what you see

You don't see a damn thing,

'cause you can't possible relate to me.

You're blinded by our differences.

My life makes no sense to you.

I'm the persecuted Palestinian.

You are the American red, white and blue.

Each day you wake in tranquility.

No fears to cross your eyes.

Each day I wake in gratitude.

Thanking God he let me rise. آ 

You worry about your education

And the bills you have to pay.

I worry about my vulnerable life

And if I'll survive another day.

You biggest fear is getting ticketed

As you cruise your Cadillac.

My fear is that the tank that just left

Will turn around and come back.آ 

American, do you realize,

That the taxes that you pay

Feed the forces that traumatize

My every living day?آ 

The bulldozers and the tanks,

The gases and the guns,

The bombs that fall outside my door,

All due to American funds.

آ 

Yet do you know the truth

Of where your money goes?

Do you let your media deceive your mind?

Is this a truth that no one knows?

آ 

You blame me for defending myself

Against the ways of Zionists

I'm terrorized in my own land

And I'm the terrorist?


You think that you know all about terrorism

But you don't know it the way I do.

So let me define the term for you.

And teach you what you thought you knew.


I've known terrorism for quite some time,

Fifty- four years and more.

It's the fruitless garden uprooted in my yard.

It's the bulldozer in front of my door.


Terrorism breathes the air I breathe.

It's the checkpoint on my way to school.

It's the curfew that jails me in my own home,

And the penalties of breaking that curfew rule.

آ 
Terrorism is the robbery of my land.

And the torture of my mother.

The imprisonment of my innocent father.

The bullet in my baby brother.

آ 
So American, don't tell me you know about

The things I feel and see.

I'm terrorized in my own land

And the blame is put on me.

آ 
But I will not rest, I shall never settle

For the injustice my people endure.

Palestine is OUR land and there we'll remain

Until the day OUR homeland is secure.


And if that time shall never come,

Then you will never see a day of peace.

I will not be thrown from my own home,

Nor will fight for justice cease.


And if I am killed, it will be Falasteen.

It's written on my breath.

So in your own patriotic words,

Give me liberty or give me death.

 

Quotationآ 
"If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti - Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault ? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?" - David Ben Gurion, The Jewish Paradox, pp121 by Nahum Goldmann
In Palestine everyday isآ  September 11..!!
 

Wherever there is occupation,
there will ALWAYS be
RESISTENCE.
ISRAELI MASSACRES
Muslims are Massacred By Israel Supported By US
A Palestinian who was born occupied
just died occupied when he blew himself up
on a Bus inside his own Occupied-Land.
آ 
Another Israeli, one day later,آ took his
air-conditioned-US-made Helicopter and
flew overآ an occupied city in that same occupied Land,
then, he shot a laser-guided-rocket
on a car full of occupied-civilians........
آ 
The First person did not surviveآ 
is called Terrorist by some
and Martyr by others.............
آ 
The Second personآ did survive and willآ 
surely get a Medal , plus some paid
holidays in Florida.
But none will call him terrorist nor
wouldآ  he be called Martyr one day.
آ 
The only consolation is that the first-person
has ended his own misery !!

"You are either a slave to what made man
or you are a slave to what man made."

If you don't have Helicopters and  Bombers
and struggling for freedom against occupation,
YOU ARE A TERRORIST?
I am A Muslim.
  Where I live, its irrelevant.
