To be Palestinian
watan in greater
To be Palestinian
is to watch the world smile at your grief
to watch as they clap at the beat of the bombs
as it mourns over the ones who murdered your innocence.
But, watan is greater
Pride in the breeze of Yaffa’s oranges
Pride in Nablusi knafeh
Pride in Al-Bireh’s thobes
Pride in the strength of Gaza of Tul Karem of Jenin
Pride in siti’s food
Pride in jido’s stories
Pride in your flag, your history, your being
To be Palestinian is greater than grief, it is a love of your existence.
We are with you in the moment if grief, how can we express of our grief, our tears, when Israeli Jews bombed on innocent little children, when they bombed on hospitals, when I see my little daughter, I always remember my Palestinian children, every barbarian act of Israel is increasing the hate of Jews, Israelis, their western parents, and every one who support this barbaric world system
Allah is with those who are patient.
