Borrowed Time Yussra MT Ebrahim 11/15/2023 Palestine is the scream in my heart the prayer for change on the horizon and maybe if I don't check the news the death toll will stop rising one might say it feels wrong of the leaves to be so orange against blue skies that a bleaker scene would be more fitting to host our gutted cries but one would be wrong for the beauty around us is a defiant sign that evil doesn't live here it's not indigenous to the human heart's design time is the enemy of the oppressor time is the foe of the fool whose grip on the world manifests as illegitimate rule the leaders can lie to their people the media can turn their cameras away as their forces massacre children but they can't tell us what to say they're running out of lies and cowards they didn't bank on this many caring this much they control the world's money, but never our hearts have the colonizers lost their touch? Zionism lives on borrowed time and the clock has come back around fresh wounds
