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
