Palestine O
Reminiscence of the ancient time!
The first recorded civilization of human kind
Once prosperous City-States of creative mind!
Linking ancient
Your culture and goods reached ancient
A free land with high spirit known in history as Canaan
Vibrant small communities celebrated life by the
Your peaceful festive society and culture
Ended with Hebrew God’s worldly adventure!
As 12 tribes burned your civilization with deadly massacre!
Ending thriving natural life style in nightmare!
You witnessed wars, occupations, annihilation in repetition
Bloodshed and revenge covered once pure land with pollution!
Influx of people found home surviving migratory persecution
Some destroyed you while others blended in cultural unification!
Your modern democracy was destroyed at inception
As the powerful evil force besieged you with obsession!
But you rose again from the ashes of oppression
As an inspiration to the dream of worldwide freedom!
