My Heart Bleeds for You .......A Poem by Bidu IbrahimI see them every day Children as young or younger than my little son, Their bodies crashed under rabbles, Their innocent bodies swimming in flood of blood The lucky ones with grief stricken mothers Kneeling by their broken bodies Scratching their faces and wailing their hearts out; The not so lucky clutching at the equally broken bodies of their mums.
I see them everyday buckling under a hail of bullets I see them everyday rained on by bombs crushed and burnt beyond recognition. I see them everyday run over by tanks and trampled into the ground. Their sin an attempt to drive out a rogue guest, A bully who has taken over their homes.
I see them everyday With stones clutched in their tiny hands Their backs never turned to run. But there is something else I see Yes I also see the courage Defiance and uncowed rage On their tiny faces. I see in their cute little eyes hope I feel in their broken bodies faith I hear in their hoarse voices victory I know the length of the night will not prevent the dawn of a new day! My heart bleeds for you the children of Palestine. © 2013 Bidu IbrahimAuthor's Note
