Palestine, I Hear You – A Poem
By Lillian Rosengarten Available at: http://palestinechronicle.com/view_article_details.php?id=16351
Palestine! You call to me with whispers of pain.
You speak of lost poets, children who cry for lost parents, lost teachers
lost childhoods, dreams torn from their roots, mangled in a desert gone dry.
In this place, water is poisoned, air putrid from the blood belly of war
There is no escape, only sleep ravished by nightmares or death.
I want to hear your poetry
and tell you mine.
I want to look into your eyes and see myself in you.
Down! Down beneath the graves I hear your cries
Muffled in a shroud of deception. You don’t exist.
Israel, you are no longer my Israel.
You punish those you call Arabs, dirty Arabs.
Sad peoples of Palestine spit on and defiled, kept behind a wall.
Oh ghetto of Israel, I ache for the reviled proud Palestinians, our brothers and sisters.
But most of all I ache for you, for you know not what you do.
– Lillian Rosengarten was the only American on board the Irene to Gaza.

Palestine Is Inside My Heart.
Palestine is so beautiful
And bright and Palestine beats
Inside my heart day and night
And I feel your pain every day
Yes every day in Gaza and the
West Bank all day and
It even makes me
Cry at night nobody cares about
Peaceful Palestine tonight and
I love you all suffering Palestinians
In life and I’ll love and pray that
Beautiful Peaceful Palestine gets
To be free some day.
