When will Justice and Peace come to Palestine

When will Justice and Peace come to Palestine
Shay Cullen

Peace by justice the only rational way to end the killing, calm the hatred,
Listen to the truth, let everyone to have their say.
Stand with the innocent children and the people of the Gaza
their bodies in bags by the hospital lay,

They endure brutal killings, twenty thousand and more are dead.
Civilians, thousands of them children, many more starving and hardly fed.
They are victims of the land grab, and occupation, are abused and unjustly oppressed,
They are under siege, continual bombardment, suffering, deprived and greatly distressed.

The oppressors drove them out by force and stole their land,
For seventy years they are refugees, walled and fenced, imprisoned and more violence planned.

They endure the destruction of their homes, hospitals and injustice without end,
The occupiers provoked a violent and evil response that will not relent or bend.

Atrocities and murders of civilians is evil, wicked and always wrong,
That is not the way to solve historical injustice for 49 years lamented in word and song.

Violence and more killing, more dead above and below the earth,
Will sadly give rise to more resistance, and violence will continue, be aware and alert.

Only dialogue, peace talks for a Palestine, a free nation of their own, then will peace surely come, let the truth be widely known.

Historical wrongs must be righted, lands returned, compensation paid then will justice be truly done, when they will have a nation of their own.

End.
