**Fwd’ing **
*Palestine *
The children cry
The world doesn’t hear
The wounds bleed
The world isn’t there
The people die
The world doesn’t care
For more than five decades they’ve fought for their land
Fought longer and harder than anyone planned
Children are murdered, their killers are known
It’s time to step up now Mr. Sharon
A baby lays dead at her mother’s side
An Israeli had shot her, then ran to hide
Any mother’s eyes would tear
To see that her children are living in fear
What father wouldn’t turn to fight
When his family is dying day and night
For these people there is no way out
They’ll stand to fight without a doubt
By Samira Said
*Afghanistan *
Alone in a corner a little girl cries
Her parents were killed, her siblings are gone
There’s no one there to dry her eyes
Her home was demolished, it’s no longer there
Her country’s in ruins, there’s no one left
She’s bleeding and in pain but there’s no one to care
She’s terrified, she’s only four years old
She doesn’t understand what war is
But it has torn apart her life with terrors untold
At the age of four, she saw her last sunrise
For alone in a corner, a little girl dies
This.is war

“…Indeed my prayer, my sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allaah, the Lord of the worlds” (6:162)
