TO WISAM MARWAN QASWANI

Wisam Marwan Qaswani(1994 - 17 January 2016)

No headlines to you,

Wisam Marwan Qaswani,

unlike for the illegal Israeli settler

killed the day after you,

in the so-called 'Western' media.

The indigenous gets the silence,

the colonialist the clamour.

No headlines for the brick-maker boy

shot by someone who wanted to kill a human being

and no longer could control

the evil growing inside him or her.

They killed you, and they get away with it,

they get away with of letting you bleed to death

there on the ground of your own land,

your blood on the soil of your native land.

As the stream of innocent blood shed flows, 

the anger grows. Hate that makes the fingers

pull the trigger to kill brick-maker boys

makes steel find its way through soft flesh.

Blood calls forth more blood,

said Alcuin of York.

Hate calls forth more hate.

Death calls forth more death.

Your death calls forth more death,

Wisam Marwan Qaswani.

The hand that made its finger pull the trigger,

the mind that sent the order to the hand,

the human being, lost inside his or her uniform,

is a future killer of so many fellow Zionists.
