Wake up - Palestine ,
Pray to God - for Palestine,
Drink coffee - scroll Palestine,
Stand in the shower - realisation about Palestine,
Drive in the car - try not to think about Palestine,
Go shopping for food - People are starving in Palestine,
Check country of origin stickers - because of Palestine,
Rush home and put it away - to get back to Palestine,
Sit down and work - now for Palestine,
Post, write, record - Palestine,
Scroll the feed, oh my God - look what they did to Palestine,
Heart breaks - for Palestine,
Rage swells - for Palestine,
Tear falls - for Palestine,
Post, write, record again - for Palestine,
Pick up kids - ask about school, think about Palestine,
They tell me it is refugee week - they tell me about Palestine,
Another tear falls - proud of my kids, sad for Palestine,
They complain about homework - then they remember Palestine,
Kids have no school in Palestine,
They're bombing the tents in Palestine,
They're killing babies in Palestine,
Dinner bath and bed - think where we would be if we had been born in Palestine,
Kiss them goodnight and watch them sleep - is Kiss them goodbye and watch them die in Palestine,
Go to bed - scroll Palestine,
Pray to God - For Palestine,
Write a poem - for Palestine,
Do whatever I can - for Palestine.

Thank you for these beautiful words Jessie. I hope you don’t mind but I shared your poem on IG.
Especially because they kicked you out.
If you’d rather I don’t, please let me know and I will remove it.
But your words resonate with so many, it would be sinful not to share.
Thank you again!
Oh gosh you are literally so sweet! Thank you for sharing it. I am so pleased that I am slowly reconnecting with so many of the people from my old account. xx
