My [occupied] Valentine

Promises are hearts and you break them all the time
Learn the difference between what's yours and what's mine
You kill me for my land and say it's self defense
I don't fall for cruel lies and evil pretense
But the rest of the world is at your bloody feet
And Your
Coward, weapon-laden soldiers are still so weak

You use the victim card without restriction
With it
Remove my people, no notice of eviction

I'm a Palestinian not born and not raised
Parents kicked out in '47 and '68
They say we breed nothing but vengeance and hate
When all we want is a peaceful two-state

Keep the land you stole from underneath our feet
For now
And let our blood not flow like rivers in streets

God will serve justice, no chocolates, no roses
You sacrificed beauty, peace. What you chose is
Gonna be bolder and stronger than your caterpillar
Your heartless state won't know what hit her


The worst of crimes
You've committed against
Palestine

Palestine, Valentine, So divine, You'll be mine
