Since the start of the Gaza war, our budget has tripled as we hired more editors

and writers. We must not stop now as the Israeli genocide against innocent

They slapped down a paper
 and a pen before my nose

In my hand they thrust

the key to my house

The paper they wanted me to blemish

said Resist… Resist

The pen they wanted me to disgrace

said Resist… Resist

Oops, we couldn’t find that

track.

Here we shall stay

A wall upon your breast

Facing starvation

Struggling with rags

Defying

Singing our songs

Swarming the streets with our wrath

Filling your dungeons with pride
