Seasons of Pain

Winter snowflakes slowly fall

In no time at all

They will become Spring rain

Still I have not overcome the pain

                                When the rain dries into the Summer sun

                                I find it hard to have any fun

                                Autumn leaves fall to the ground

                                Winds of peace are never found

Seasons come and seasons go

The world has to know

The weather changes seasonally

But occupation continues endlessly

                                Years have come and years have gone

                                We use the gun, we use the stone

                                Years have fast become decades

                                Our refugee camps are battered by air raids

Time passes into eternity

Peace talks never reach maturity

Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring

The birds of Palestine have no reason to sing
