We Are All Gazans

We are all Gazans, is it politically correct
And when you sit is your spine erect
Or do you slouch
Are there words in which you couch
Your terms of endearment so they don't fly
To protect the ones who die
And I've said it before but every child
Is an echo of the one wild
Free call that we all make
And I will not forsake
Them to the bombs and guns
Are some deaths worth more when sons
Are the offspring of the united
But there's a knot and I think we untied it
As the world comes to see
That everything is reverberatory
And you cannot harm your brother's daughter
Without drinking from that same water
That you fed to her lips
To bring darkness like an eclipse
And who am I but a child of peace
Until the famine became a feast
That ate our bodies til they were worried thin
And all I can think about is him
If he were born in that time
Is to be male a crime
That means you're not entitled to the same rights
As the woman whose heart ignites
When she looks at the man she loves
And there may be two turtle doves
Somewhere on the ledge
But I've got to let it go, isn't that what they all said
And I may have been contained
But the sky still rained
Down on me so I know the feel
Of wet to the skin as it steal
Away every bit of warmth you own
And people just say: you never would have known
So what entitles me to my perspective
When I just choose an elective
In politics
So I can see where the chain sticks
The spoke in the wheel
People always know what they feel
When the chips are down
And Rihanna wanted to run this town
But I don't think she's in charge of the flights
Of birds in the midnights
I subtle stare
And think of the humans who once lived there
