" Get up Grandfather "
lying there in your garden
covered by your flowers...Grandfather
I came to hear a story
of how the earth came to be
you taught me each flower's name
gentle spirit...kind soul
now laying silent in your garden, row by row
soldiers with guns-Bulldozer too
Indifferent Jew spitting on you
GrandFather-you loved all men
" We are like flowers" you once said
" here today-gone tomorrow-do we reflect
Allah's Love or man's hate?"
Old stupid man!!--My Brother's say
Hate seeping out of their eyes
Bloody rocks in their hands
72 Virgins not far away
GrandFather..... wake UP!!---I'm only 11
Rain now gently falls
is there crying now in Heaven??
Grandfather--I need you....
your garden is now a driveway.....
for people with a strange tongue....
Gentle spirit..........
Kind soul........
