\\P@lestine Was Beautiful//
P@lestine was beautiful, like the dawn’s first light,
Where olive trees whispered in the soft, warm night.
The hills rolled in green, and the rivers sang low,
In the heart of the land where the wildflowers grow.
The sun kissed the soil, painting skies with gold,
Stories of ancients, both quiet and bold.
The air smelled of thyme, of citrus and pine,
In every breath, a history divine.
The children’s laughter echoed down the streets,
In every corner, hope and love would meet.
The call of the muezzin, a song from the soul,
Binding hearts together, making them whole.
The markets were lively, with colors so bright,
Fruits piled high, a splendid sight.
The scent of fresh bread from a humble stall,
Palestine was beautiful, cherished by all.
But the beauty was marred, and the land was torn,
By endless wars and hearts that mourn.
Yet even in shadows, where silence now lies,
Palestine’s spirit still reaches the skies.
For beauty can’t vanish, though empires fall,
In the soil, the memory, it lingers, it calls.
P@lestine was beautiful, and still it remains,
In the hearts of its people, through losses and pains...
