The Audacity

They’re using gas
To break down the resistance
To wipe a people from existence
And I know it’s not a popular opinion
But how do you defend war
Even when you think you know what it’s for
As children die and adults scream
Because this is not just a dream
We are having, a shared collective thread
This is about people murdered in their bed
As the vast swathe goes by unconcerned
As people watch their families burned
I try it raise my voice to say
This is not okay
As Palestine, oh, Palestine
One day there will come a time
Where the indigenous don’t rot
In a land time forgot
When the powers that be know the worth
Of the innocent they choose to hurt
And I know they have plans, I know they have reasons
But this winter has no seasons
And no hope to abate
Don’t make our brothers and sisters wait
To be considered human
Wake and realise what you’re doing
