Song Of Palestine – A Slice Of Watermelon
Green-White; Red-Flesh; Black-Seeds.
Half the world takes a stand, bearing black; green; white; red!
Condemned by th’Jewish people it betrays.
Precious. Valid. Storied. Human.
Like flags of fierce resistance, laundry dries in its black, green, red, ‘n white…
D’you see God in th’pillars of fire that make this land their own?
She stands beside the water, watching all, her ethnicity in her hair ‘n hue.
