if He resurrects in the current timeline
He shall witness annihilation.
The sun covered with smoggy clouds
caused by the deadliest explosives of His people.
There are no clear rivers to bathe in,
only a blood-flowing ocean of corpses;
No calmness, no sound of chirping birds,
but a banging of rifles, booming of grenades
causing ear-splitting cries, depressive grievances.
if He resurrects in the current timeline
He shall witness a family scared for their lives.
A six-year-old innocent girl wearing a dress,
carrying her father's flesh, mourning in fear.
A thin, old woman yearning for food,
it's already been a week since her last grass soup.
Then, there’s a wounded little boy suddenly exploding himself
with bombs planted underneath his turf.
“Were there any more dire, heart-wrenching views than this?”
if He resurrects in the current timeline
He shall stand together with the oppressed.
For annihilation to cease, they must resist.
Continuously fight for freedom, justice, and peace!
Because if He resurrects in the current timeline
He shall also shout, “Free Palestine!”
