Where are the rights of the Palestinian people?

Don't cry

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 2 min read

The owners of the blood-stained clothes

My brothers

Even if you lied and accused me of being one of the wicked

The voice of the revolutionaries rises in the pulpits of the great

And testifies that I am one of the martyrs

And my proud people who refused in the courts of darkness to submit and listen

I was proud of the insistence that lasted throughout the period of evacuation

In the days when the desires of youth invaded me

But I always wanted to be one of the martyrs

My greetings to the people of Balsam Al-Jarrah

When I decided to sacrifice my life

My brother, I made myself a salvation

My wounded homeland, so make from your soul a balm and a medicine for healing

When I fought the accursed enemy

I was the one who put them on the brink of exhaustion

And I forgot that among my people there are more revolutionaries

Those who monitor my mistakes and push me to be one of the martyrs

Oh Lord, have mercy on a homeland that has been disfigured by the calamities of the years

And make me one of the innocents in it

And when I prayed, this was my request

That I proudly liberate Palestine

But the occupation forces assassinated me

And I was martyred

At the first dawn of Ramadan, fighting is forbidden in it

My blood exploded and flowed and took all the misery

From myself I felt nothing but that I had become one of the greats

Therefore, my mother, I asked you before not to cry

And waste your blue blessings on me generously

So why didn't you respond to my request

And deafen my groans?

Why, my soul, do you fear redemption?

And everyone here is happy with death?

Why do you cry while we are in heaven?

There is no doubt that we will meet again?

And my brother, follow my advice and be with me

For tomorrow the wars will turn our bodies

Into pieces for the sake of the homeland

And you, Zionist, no matter how much you kill me

I will return to you like Christ to leave you in torment

So leave me in my grave

For one day I will return and purify it from the enemies
