I need to write a song today, a song I can scream

I was listening to Michael Jackson singing Earth Song and a friend told me she loves that song because it’s a song you can scream, and that inspired me to write this…. because I think it’s time to scream.

A Song I can Scream.

I need to write a song today
A song I can scream
Because no one is listening,
So it seems.

I need to write a song today
A song I can scream,
We’re back to those times again,
Trying to crush our dreams.

You simply don’t listen,
You don’t even try.
We have the right to defend ourselves.
And then you print their lies!

Your money goes to terror
It doesn’t go to schools.
Used to brainwash children there.
Do you think that’s fair?

You don’t listen to Yemen.
You don’t listen to Druze.
You abandoned Afghanistan,
Oh let’s blame the Jews!

You don’t listen to Syria
Or the starving in Sudan.
You don’t listen to Christians,
You give a pass to Iran.

Two red haired angels,
4 years and 10 months,
Murdered by Hamas
Whom you trust so much!

I need to write a song today
A song I can scream,
Because no one is listening,
So it seems…

Shani’s broken body
Mocked in the street.
Our hostages trophied,
For Gaza it’s a treat.

Do you spit on all China
For taking Tibet?
Do you serve Russians,
When there’s so much death?

Do you cancel America ,
Australia too,
For killing so many Natives,
They’re now so few.

Blown up buses,
Pizzerias too.
Limbs scatter the pavement,
In coffee houses too.

You pull our children off airplanes.
Rip posters up in the street.
Throw us out of Cafés,
Set fire to where we meet.

You never listen
You don’t even try.
It’s a media frenzy,
Full of lies!

I had to write a song today
A song I can scream.
We’re back to those times again.
Trying to crush our dreams.

You have never listened
About time that you did,
We tried your “solutions”
And we got dead Yids!

We tried over and over,
This war will never end,
You have wasted billions,
And thousands dead.

The biggest con in history,
The lies that they spew.
It’s called Judea
That’s why I’m a Jew!

I had to write a song today,
A song to scream,
Because you never have listened,
And now we are where we are…

We don’t want people dying,
We want it to cease!
No more UN “solutions”
Let Israel chase the peace.

I had to write a song today.
A song I can scream,
We’re back to those times again.

Let us achieve our dreams.

(For All)

I think close to the last 35 years went into this song.
