By Najoua Bijjir - Amsterdam
Land of Holy
Pilgrimage
Mortals claiming
Heritage
Marked by footpaths
Of fools
Killing human jewels
****
Jerusalem
In thy Holy ground
Is buried
The face of innocence
Harmed by sadist dunce
Leaving peace
In absence
****
Land where Prophets
Kneeled became
Endless battlefields
Upon thy soil
Children are used as
Human shields
****
Bombed and destroyed
In mothers’ uterus
Fools claiming heritage
In the monopoly of
Raging materialists
****
We are Jerusalem
Our human nature reflects upon
Thy soil
Leaving thus destructive marks
In Jerusalem’s soul
