A Poem For Palestine: Do They Know Of Christmas time?

Dec 28, 2023 Letters

“From the river….”

I pray the cold wind

blows and blows…

until all sin is swept away….

 

I pray the Great Cleanse coming

grant mercy upon us all…….

 

Do they know of Christmas…

…Can they feel the snow?

Carrying  sons

and daughters

to burial,

Bodies crumble from their backs

 

Tell them when it’s Christmas,

fighting for their lives…

 

….Amongst the rubble,

upon the ash….

 

Tender hearts of whom

the world now casts its shadow

upon their very souls,

 

Snowstorm of smoke

 

A Blizzard of bullets

 

…..Path to silence,

 

Do they know of Christmastime

in this famous Holy Land?

Where every child ….

……..dreamer…….

every ray of hope

…..born unto earth

shall only know demise,

 

Shine your light upon Bethlehem,

Hold them in your hearts,

Is this the place

where Christ was born?

 

Amongst the rubble….

 

…upon  ash…

 

….smell of

Bodies lined up

and down the street?….

 

…..Have mercy upon us all…..

 

“……to the sea”

 

Yours faithfully,

Nikhil Sankar
