Olive Trees

I wonder what they would say...

I wonder what the olive trees would say if they could talk

I wonder if their roots shrivel at the vibrations of the bombs.

I wonder if they too, are scared.

I wonder if the blood of our martyrs reaches their roots. If the olive trees are strengthened by their pursuit for liberation.

Did the olive trees learn of the hands that planted them?

Are their tears oil or blood?

Questions left unanswered.

I wonder what it feels like to rest in your shade.

Should I continue writing poetry? Let me know!
