Watch the Buildings Crumble

Watch the Buildings Crumble I heard them marching, chanting "kill them all" I saw millions of people trapped behind ghetto walls I saw the soldiers shooting every Friday afternoon I saw some exposed to sickness with others made immune I saw the tear gas in Al-Aqsa, eyes open wide I saw the mob attack the motorist and beat him til he died I heard the generals lying, I saw the tanks moving in I heard the settlers shouting "let the killing begin" Look up above, hear the ear-splitting sound Watch the buildings crumble to the ground See the planes in the sky there by the sea So much like New York City I heard the wailing voices of the dying and forlorn Of the kids who couldn't get out and those who weren't warned I saw all the schools and the hospitals in pieces there still From the last time the IDF came to maim and kill I saw the brave children with piles of rocks Facing tanks demolishing city blocks What's left of the grove but some sap As they try to wipe Palestine off the map I heard the DNC and all the Republicans too Pledge allegiance to Netanyahu I heard the president starting the story With rockets launched from a ghetto Where people live in rubble, starved by an embargo I saw a whole lot of crocodile tears on display For the zillionth time I heard politicians say Can both sides please deescalate On one side are the occupied, on the other, an apartheid state
