the sky is tired

your resilience

earth shattering

exhausting the heavens

the walls are tired

standing so long

family of stones

daughters of suns

the streets are tired

wearied feet of soldiers

exhausted from humiliating

honor and soil

the lands are tired

heard it all before

the occupation, assassinations

summary executions

the mothers are tired

children arrested and tortured

their crime

Palestine

the bullets are

tired of being fired

sky rife with tears

air ripe with jasmine

the gods are tired

Allah wrestling Yahweh

for a dose of heaven on

a small piece of desert wasteland
