Palestine

The interfering British fucked up
I can say
Being born here being schooled here
It was not the way
To give another countries land
To Israel as they did
And move a people off their land
Really just get rid

Land is farmed with blood and snot
With sinew and with pain
Olive trees and fruits were grown
And all of this in vain
Some grey suit signs some paper
And all the land is lost
Your land land you fought for
Gone yes what a cost

And you are in some prison camp
Lost against those who
Wish to take a bit more land
And a bit more land will do
And they build their nice new houses
On your olive groves and land
And you are expected to accept them
And completely understand

No matter what you owned before
Maybe a little square
You loved that land it was part of you
Others were unaware
Thats until they acquired your land
And built on it and forgot
That this land belonged to someone else
Yours it just was not

But they are seen as the under dogs
Lost souls let us say
They now do not have a lot
And there seems to be no way
Of getting back their precious soil
Their little bit of joy
That is gone for ever
Which really does annoy

So the giant in his great new place
Has riches and weaponry
Supplied to him by another giant
Who chooses to be
His massive benefactor
Threateningly so
And Palestine is smarting
In the alleys down below

Their women folk and children
Being slaughtered on the street
Refugee camp status
So say the elite
Checkpoints walls and aggression
Everywhere you go
And a country with the nuclear force
Whose power base seems to grow

And you are likened to the rats
That crawl beneath their feet
Who have a massive arsenal
There is no way you can compete
You can send your rockets skywards
They can cause some damage sure
But up against the giants
They really just ignore

People we are all people
Children are the same
They never asked where to be born
But now they are there they claim
Some status on this planet
They are people and we must care
Not leave them to be bullied
Every bloody where

My heart it is with people
Why do victims have to be
They were there before this
Bloody arrangement came to be
We stuck our bloody nose in
And created this big show
And now the people everywhere
Watch the anger grow

Vile deaths and destruction
Aggression through and through
This is no way out of anything
Worthwhile and you
The people have to come to terms
And live together for we
Need to cut the cackle and the greed
And let them be

To give is very sacred to steal
Is very sad
The rich are good at stealing
What they shouldn’t have had
I stand and admire the women
In the streets toting their force
Fighting for their children’s future
As a matter of course

Palestine she proudly stands her ground
And we
Should understand the moment
And help her to be free
Share the land by all means
But treat people and care
i don’t care who the hell you think you are
But share

Share the little that you have
Don’t steal their hearts and souls
To entrap them in your bloody camps
Tightening controls
This is no way to run this world
Its ugly and unfair
And for Britain and America
Tell Israel to be fair

Give them back their desert
Give them back their land
Give them back some self respect
The fire of hate thats fanned
Is hopeless in this world of ours
We need to see them free
We need to hear their voices
Cry out expectantly
