Solemn Greetings
The oppressed Palestinian now hears solemn greetings from all around the world, riding the winds of war.
Many a giant ghosts stand contemplating the killing field,
Dr. King, Gandhi, Ho Chi Minh, lamenting your plight.
You persevere magnificently, need a Ho Chi Minh trail to turn this bloody
war to your benefit. Your right to resist oppression can never be denied.
I hear through the deep silence of the West, an autumn of discontent, riveting through streets of fire.
But what you want is to embrace everyone like a mother,
friends and enemy with a quiet kiss of peace.
