I want to tell the world

******************************** 

I want to tell the world
A story

 


About a home With a broken lantern

 


 


 


 

And a burnt doll

 


 


About a picnic That wasn’t enjoyed

 


 


 


 

 


 

About an axe That killed a tulip

 


 


 


 

 


 

 

 

A story about a fire That consumed a plait

 


 

 


 

 


 

a story about a tear that couldn’t run down

 

I want to tell a story About a goat That wasn’t milked

 


 


About a mother’s dough That wasn’t baked

 


 


 


 

 


 

About a wedding That wasn’t celebrated

 


 


 


 

And a baby girl that didn’t grow up

 



 


 


 

About a football That wasn’t kicked

 


 


About a dove That didn’t fly

 


 


I want to tell a story About a key That wasn’t used

 


 


 


 

About a classroom That wasn’t attended

 


 


 


 

 


 

About a playground That was silenced

 


 


About a book That wasn’t read

 


 


 


 

 


 

About a besieged lonely farm 
And about its fruits That weren’t picked

 

 


About a lie that wasn’t discovered

 

A story about a church That’s no longer prayed in

 


 


And a mosque That no longer stands

 


 


And a culture No longer rejoiced

 


 


 


 

 


 

 

 

 

 


I want to tell a story About a muddy grassy roof

 

 



 


About a stone That faced a tank

 




And about a stubborn flag That refuses to lie down

 



 


About a spirit that cannot be defeated

 

I want to tell the world A story

 



Now Light a little candle for Palestine

 



 

You can do it

Light a candle One little candle 
Watch the darkness fade away

Just try it out

One ray of light
Wipes away the gloomiest
Jet-black nights
As the dawn breaks

Just observe

Can you see that
All the might of darkness
In the world
Cannot extinguish
The faintest flicker
Of a beam of light

Light a candle
One little candle
Watch the darkness fade away

You can do it

Hey.. WORLD

Did you hear me
