Hindsight could have saved Hind’s sight.

Blinded by the colonizer through erasure,

Distorted through a fisheye lens,

From the river to the sea.

-

But the lens isn’t for Palestine to see.

And when the clock goes TikTok and the footage rolls in,

Of how Palestinians see and how the zionist tide rises,

The horror that becomes clear makes 2020 vision seem like nothing.

-

Four years ago is nothing for a people occupied for decades.

Four score and seven years ago, closer to a clearer picture.

When the fathers of colonialism brought forth, upon Palestine,

The Nakba.

-

It doesn’t take glasses to understand,

That when genocide is at hand,

Every Hind’s sight is threatened.

And when you turn a blind eye, the vision for humanity goes dark.
