Forward step
(In a historic first, Senate advances a Bill to end U. S. support for illegal war in Yemen, November 29, 2018)
How long will they remain ‘yes -men’
Witnessing US-Saudi strikes on Yemen?
Time has come to create history
By asserting their rights in the country
So, the first ever conscious vote
By the Senate to end military support
Might seal the fate of Trump’s misadventure
And stop aid to an unjust imperialist war
First steps towards sanity have begun
The prayers of Yemenis might have won
In solidarity
(Students from 30 UK Universities protest to mark International Day of Solidarity with Palestine People, Nov 30, 2018)
The exuberance of youth
The power of truth
Always stands by the oppressed
Palestine people who have been suppressed
By ruthless zionists
Aided by western imperialists
‘Brothers and sisters! Comrades!
We march for your rights!’
Resonate students voices
Campaigning ‘Apartheid off Campus’
As the struggle continues
Israeli violations are no new news
But the pressure starts to mount
As international solidarity against Israel surmounts
