Scars//Stories

Scars tell stories

Stories of triumph,

Stories of losses.

They say so much,

Even though they lack a mouth.

Purposeful or accidental,

There's a story to tell.

The firey explosion of a tank,

Or an accidental hit with a toy,

Tell a story nonetheless.

Jagged or clean,

Faint or dark,

Risen up or dented down,

All have a

Story to Tell.

Surgical scars,

Ment to help the living.

Methodical scars,

Meant to harm

but not kill.

Self done,

Used as a means to escape.

What? You may ask,

Only the person could tell.

War scars tell

War stories

Stories of Triumph

And shame.

Gunshots, blades, burns,

All leave their marks.

Scars from play,

Are perhaps the most entertaining.

A fall in a playground,

A hit too hard with a plastic sword.

Leaves the owner laughing,

As they tell

The stories of their scars.

Scars tell stories,

So be careful when you ask.

Some scars hurt,

Long after they

Bled and Burned.

Some are ashamed

Of the marks on their bodies,

Others find pride in marred skin.

Scars tell stories,

So some prefer to hide.

Others want the scars to see light,

Because they wish for their stories to be known.

Scars tell stories,

So it's important to listen.

Scars have power over the owner,

And those around,

Some overcome the power,

Others still struggle against it.

But all the same,

Big or Small,

Shallow or Deep,

Scars tell Stories.

It is impossible to get people to take this seriously but Israel is very literally an ISIS level destroyer of world heritage. Gaza City was one of the oldest cities on earth. It is gone

— worms cited (@christapeterso) January 28, 2024
One of Gaza’s most important archaeological sites—threatened previously by Israeli bombings/siege—has been mostly destroyed in the Israeli invasion. The site, near al-Shati refugee camp, consists of several excavations which suggest extensive remains throughout the area: https://t.co/rdHyiK81Oj pic.twitter.com/vDLl2e4XOS

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

What Do You Mean Elon Musk Did A Nazi Salute On Live Tv At The United States Presidential Inauguration

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

Nelson Mandela was in USA's terror watchlist until *2008. The guy who fought against apartheid state of South Africa, won a Nobel peace prize, became a president, a beloved character across the globe was in the terror watchlist of USA. So I wouldn't actually take murica's opinion about labeling a person or group of people as terrorists. Chances are they're actually fighting for the freedom of their country.

That's why they call Hamas terrorists instead of freedom fighters. In their eyes The Nelson Mandela was a terrorist.

Anyways as Nelson Mandela said

Free Palestine 🇵🇸🍉

The thing I don't understand is when I say free Palestine, so many people think that means I hate the Israeli people. That I don't care if they die.

I care about the Israeli people.

I care about the Israeli hostages that were shot down by their own military.

I care about all Israeli hostages in general.

I care about the Israeli men being thrown in jail because they refuse to assist in the "war" around them.

I care about the Israeli people who don't support the genocide happening infront of their very eyes.

Even the Israeli people who do, I don't wish death upon them, or whatever hateful thing you think I do.

When I say free Palestine, I don't mean I hate the Israeli people.

When I say free Palestine, I mean Free Palestine

O' Children of Watermelon Seeds and Olive Trees

O' Children of Watermelon Seeds,

tell me of your dreams

The one's where Father returns,

and Mother was always there

And Sister and Brother

can hold hands and dance

The ones where the buzzing of planes,

is nothing but a distant nightmare

O' Children of Olive Trees,

I know your blood runs deep

It gathers in the soil,

like Nature's finest oil

The trees care for you,

as you did for them

I wish I could be there for you,

as I know you'd be here for me

O' Children of the Red Sea,

I wish to listen to thee

But the phone is dead,

and the line is flattening

I wish not to hear your death's rattle,

but I know that if I don't,

we willl lose this Battle

O' Children of the East,

you're not the beast they say your are

You have the kindest hearts,

and the warmest smiles

When in reality,

It's the West that's vile

I know the people are not to blame

but those who supply and deny

This, and prior, Genocides

O' Leaders of the West

it's you who are the most Vile

You wish to sit in Denile

while blood is tainting the morale

Do you wish for more Oil?

Why else do you bomb their Soil?

O' Terrors of the Blue and White,

you are the very thing that killed your grandmothers and grandfathers

You Genocide and Terrorize,

like it's 1941

You monopolize on prior hate,

but Zionism isn't profitable

The world is watching,

and we'll laugh at your mistakes

All while holding up the children of

Watermelon Seeds and Olive Trees

Remember folks, the settler colony of Israel and its supporters just in the last two months ALONE:

Denied the use of white phosphorous on Palestinians in Gaza

Lied about the beheaded babies

Lied about the bombing of the Al-Ahly Hospital

Lied and lied and lied about the Al-Shifa Hospital (now conveniently forgotten, sparsely mentioned)

Bombed journalists and their families, medics, scholars, and UN workers under the pretext of belonging to Hamas

Lied about the 'safe corridors'

Lied about providing aid

Lied about the inhumane treatment of Palestinian detainees and prisoners

Lied about Rafah and Khan Younis being safe

Lied about the death of Palestinian baby, claiming it was a doll for propaganda.

They don't want us to call what's happening in Gaza a genocide not because there's not been an official ruling but because these things don't get set in people's minds via official ruling. Instead it is the oral history that sets an event into place in mass consciousness.

Us calling it what it is - a genocide - means they can't wriggle out of it in years to come. They can't continue to call it a conflict or a war if we cement it in public consciousness as a genocide.

So don't tone down your language. Call it what it is. Make sure the history books know what happened and the genocides that took place in Palestine, Sudan, Congo.

A reporter visiting a school in Israel.

" - What happens when you meet Arab kids? What do you feel?

- Angry. I feel I want to kill them."

.

"There will be Arabs but they will be slaves"
