Ceasefire

Ceasefire 

 

colonialism.Even today it still exists

the very framework from which our empire persits divide and rule, do they take us for a fool? 

More than 2000 years of peace in palestine, built with sweat and tears, all to fall down within the last 75 years

 

extinction. While Israel continues it's endeavour, our leaders simply stand by

even worse, they tell lie after lie

Israel has the right to self defense, whilst 11,000 and more continue to die

where's the common sense?

 

America. The land of liberty

working with Israel to keep 2.5 million in captivity

the land of democracy 

funding a fascist state

to me, the land of hypocrisy

supplying arms to wipe out Palestinian ambitions, killing children and families with American ammunitions

 

School. A haven to learn, 

a place to play 

where bodies burn

the dead are left to lay

 

 

Empire. Just like a pulse

only continuing to beat

If blood is allowed to keep it alive

that's why we march on the street

In order to stop the legacy survive 

divide and rule

Empires biggest tool

to think those in power took us for fools

 

 

Freedom. We're told we have freedom

yet they keep us in chains

we are never told to question the stains 

we are Never told to question the past

running through the middle East's veins?

when will Palestine have justice at last 

 

Injustice. Israel continues to destroy everything it touches

whilst protests continue to be threatened

where is the justice?

bodies buried beneath the ruble

how many years must Palestine continue to struggle? 

 

Rule of law. Which we teach our children to respect

when international law is continuously under neglect

Broken every single day

and all we can do is pray. 

 

Extremism. Cruella Bravermen insits that we are extremists

why she stands by in her complicity

we stand together and refused to be silenced

It's her that has blood on her hands 

whilst Israel continues to take land

 

we scream

we shout

we let it all out

but who's hearing our voices

and

who's making all the choices?
