13 November Poem by gilo shahine

Finally rested in peace…


Thirteen of October nineteen ninety
What a blessed day! ! !
Hundreds of champions felled down
With heads in the sky
Carrying the lions hearts
And eagles eyes
With a huge proud
For a holiness cause
For the land of legend
For the memory of our ancestors
And the future of our children
For two thousand years of resistance
Against all kind of intruders…
Rocks and rivers witness
The myth of our willpower
No fear, no hesitation neither weakness
Soldiers of Gedeon against the entire world
A knife in front of a plane
It was the start of a long journey
Where we have been arrested, exiled and beaten
But we have never stopped or left our purpose
Liberty, sovereignty and independence
Till the big day came on May two thousand five
The day of liberation and victory
Of the real colors of the highest flag
Red, white and green
Where our Martyrs finally rested in peace! ! !
