“A Nation of Defiers”
By: Marwan Arikat

The situation is dire,

Palestine is on fire,

Its people that we admire,

Are besieged by a barbwire,

Executed by gunfire,

Persecuted by the Occupier,

Could the Palestinians retire?

In the face of the Zionist Empire,

I think not, they will fight
fire with fire,

and the Intifada will spread
like wildfire,

And freedom fighters will inspire,

Their children who aspire,

For a freedom from the Occupier,

And then the Evil Empire,

Will be in a quagmire,

Asking itself: how can we defeat
a nation of defiers?
