Rights are not for sale
History is not kind
On those who sell their people out,
Betray their cause,
Surrender their land
To tow the line
Do not sign

Refugees have endured
The winter’s cold,
And the summer’s heat,
The loss of dignity,
A tragic feat
They’ve been longing
To return back
Since at least
1949
Do not sign

Old farms are dying
From the suffocation
Of their invaders,
And their settlements,
Which are spreading
Like a cancer,
That’s not benign
Do not sign

The land is sacred
Al-Aqsa, the Nativity,
The Dome, and the Sepulcher
Ole Jerusalem is bustling
With activity,
In ways that shine
Do not sign

People have sacrificed
To regain their dignity,
And independence
Having a strong affinity,
To the land
And its history,
They’ve resisted
And resisted
For generations,
Despite policies that dehumanize
And malign
Do not sign

Millions around the globe
Are in solidarity
With their just struggle
They condemn the killings,
The confiscations,
The demolitions,
The humiliations
And with the call to justice,
They all align
Do not sign

It’s been shameful,
The victims have become victimizers,
Made an enemy out of sympathizers
Apartheid is doomed
We’ll tell the truth,
State the facts,
Not opine
Do not sign

Peace is lovely
When based on justice,
It can endure,
And flourish,
Stay pure,
And nourish
History is not kind,
On those who sell out their people,
Betray their cause,
Surrender their land
And if pressured,
You better resign,
But Do Not Sign
