Demise of Human Rights

Killing, bombing and eviction

People are living in privation

Of security, freedom and dignity

In our close vicinity. 

Eleven was not a short duration. 

A life full of terror and affliction! 

With signals honking, children wailing,

Elders mourning and constant depriving. 

What they wanted was their rights

A peaceful life without any fight,

Right to pray in Al Aqsa mosque, 

Right to travel without any force

No slavery, no arbitrary arrest

Right to work with enough rest

What they got was a disgrace! 

Rights were killed in occupational race! 

Civilians and their infrastructure were targeted

Target were the homes in Silwan and Sheikh Jarrah

Who will pay for psychological impairment? 

Who will win amidst debarment?

None can bring back the martyrs.

None can change that horrible encounter.

But one can do a lot many things

Try to fulfill their emotional needs

Suppress Anti Semitic demonstration 

And urge for recognized demarcation.

Make this peace a permanent one

By treating all people as equal humans.
