A New Day
Art by Heather Doram, Antigua and Barbuda
A new day
A new day
Or is it?
I log in
They are all red
I watch
They are dead
I scroll some more
They are chanting
Not escaping
They are resisting
A new day
Or a new chance to be closer to freedom
Another chance to chant
Another opportunity to rant
Another chance to disenchant
A new day
Yet they are still pleading
Yet the others aren’t reading?
A new day
The others are lying
The others are spying
A new day
To fight
To light the darkness
This poem was created to express grief over the lives lost through genocide and the violence I’ve witnessed against the Palestinian people by the settler states of Israel and the United States. It was created to call out Zionist propaganda and to honor the continued struggle for a liberated Palestine.
