Taking to the Waves

Since the siege began, across humanity
People have tried to show solidarity
Marching and campaigning and searching for a way
From Australia to Sweden to Turkiye
Folks began to organize ships to the shore
To this occupied land of perpetual war

Some boats made it all the way to the port
Most others had their journeys cut short
Boarded by commandos, like pirates on the sea
In international waters, not governed by their country
But it’s 2024, the year of genocide
And more boats are taking to the ocean wide

To the land where all the homes
Have been turned into graves
The flotilla is taking to the waves

The destruction has been almost complete
As the Israeli regime aims to repeat
The Catastrophe of 1948
But some people just can’t wait
They know that lives depend on whether they might fail
So, soon the ships set sail

Thousands of tons are headed there
Through international waters where
All the world’s countries must take a position
A life and death decision
Watch the demise of the Palestinian nation
Or help the flotilla reach its destination
