“American Python”

By Marwan Arikat

Out of Washington came a Python,

Crawling freely on the Arabic lawn,

With a clear mission to carryon:

“Starving the people of Palestine”

The python has the support of his pawns,

In Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon,

Who won’t hesitate to keep on,

The slow murder of Palestine,

But the Palestinians will hold on,

And after the darkness; will come the dawn,

And the sun will shine in Palestine,

And the ugly Python will be gone,

Along with his cowardly pawns.
