Remember Rachel

Hello readers, Rachel Corrie Rachel is one of those young ladies beautiful inside and out Once a young girl knew along that she cares about the people In college, yet old enough to volunteer her time she went to visit Gaza With other activists she protested for resources for those having homes demolished She lived with these people learning the culture writing her thoughts But Israel doesn't care if she's American, she's protesting for Palestinians they ran over and killed her with a bulldozer We will remember the injustice but more than that we will remember Rachel for the work she's done, the love she has as her spirit lives on I guess we all have a little Rachel Corrie in us we just have to be more active fighting for her and the Palestinians. {written 2:00 p.m. Aug 28, 2012} Love, Fida Islaih This poem is now published in Her Olives .
