“I want to tell the world – a story -
To tell a story that never happened, never took place, never was, never got manifested. See the story of so many lives that never got fulfilled. never had the chance to grow up, fall in love, marry, bear children, grow old, They never had the chance to love and serve humanity, they never had the chance to fall in love with GOD. Decade after decade their suffering continues. What does GOD want us to do for them? Just see the woman clinging to her precious olive tree. See everything. This is not acceptable. It is not acceptable that powerful elites rule the world and create havoc, death and destruction in the lives of simple human beings. If we have any spine at all, we should not accept this. Please tell me, is there not some connection between our spirituality, our ideology, and these sweet suffering people? What is that connection? Just tell me. – Garda Ghista
About a home with a broken lantern
About a picnic that wasn’t enjoyed.
About an axe that killed a tulip
About a fire that consumed a plait
About a tear that couldn’t run down
I want to tell a story about a goat that wasn’t milked
About a wedding that wasn’t celebrated
And a baby girl that didn’t grow up
About a football that wasn’t kicked
I want to tell a story about a key that wasn’t used
About a classroom that wasn’t attended
About a besieged lonely farm
And about its fruits That weren’t picked
About a lie that wasn’t discovered
I want to tell a story 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

We will not go down in gaza tonight
Thank you for your comment and horrifying yet inspirational and informing video post. I have heard the song (such a great song) and have seen it applied to videos on the web before; however, yours was filled with images I had not seen before. (My keyboard is wet).
I often find my empathy stretched by the all-too-many areas of devastation across the planet (especially where America action, directly or indirectly, is responsible); however, there is no doubt in my mind that the Palestinian people are the heart — if not soul — of this world.
Thank you again for your comment and contribution to my blog.
