A Poem for Palestine

Location

How can y'all be stuffing your faces knowing that the children of Palestine, Egypt, Jordan, Africa, Bangladesh, Syria, Lebanon, and etc.. are starving?
Today's your day to dress up in a red suite pretending to be some fat guy giving young children false hopes.
Well guess what a child of the Holy land is covered from head to toe with that dark, shiny, red velvet color.
They never got a chance to wish or to dream,
They only contemplate and plead to Allah that the enemies of Allah will not strip them from their innocent means.
I cannot wish you a Merry X-mas and a Happy New Year,
I cannot smile upon your fake happiness and thank you all for the gifts that seem to appear,
I cannot eat your enormous meal and forget that people are barely clinging on to their lives oh so dear,
Instead I'll tell you about how Merciful and Just Almighty Allah is and it is He who you need to fear,
I cannot fake this moment for my face is fixed with a broken smile and my eyes are filled with tears.

So I'm sorry but I cannot wish you a Merry X-mas and a Happy New Year.
Wallahi I just don't understand why can't you hear the cries of the Ummah,
How dare you look down on someone and see them as an atom that's not worth a fiber to ya,
Your heart is full of greed and the corruption of the dunya,
You know we've suffered a lot,
and everyday that glass mirror gets tougher to watch.

Is it so bad that I cannot wish you a Merry X-mas and a Happy New Year? No, and I'm not sorry that I can't. I'm not ..
