Palestinians
No more, a bunch of refugees;
Palestinians
Not a mere oppressed and dispossessed, struggling for survival
Palestinians
A symbol of courage, determination, endurance and inspiration
for every bullied individual and every oppressed nation
Palestinians
Holders of the torch of justice,
Seekers of freedom
professors of endurance
Teachers of dignity
Callers to humanity,
Longing for an egalitarian society
Seeking liberation from a ruthless minority
Of predatory, oppressive warmongering elite
Palestine
No more, a mere geographical location
Palestine
No longer a decaying chapter in a book of history
Palestine
A poignant story,
A beautiful vision,
A passionate cause,
An exquisite poem,
A Melody of freedom
An inspirational idea,
A moral concept
A moral concept
that could never be destroyed
Veiled as

Dear Genie
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your humbling poem... I really don't deserve such beautiful words.
Furthermore, allow me to use this opportunity to express my admiration of your work; for the wisdom, purity, insight and deep love for life, creation and Creator that emanates from your beautiful poetry.
I find your thoughts, ideas and perception of life extremely inspiring. Your words concise, arrow-like, reflective, thoughtful, compassionate and utterly profound.
Dearest Nahida,
ReplyDeleteYour humility is one of the praiseworthy virtues that you have, one of many virtues that you carry in abundance.
I have always loved your dedication to Palestine, and you do this in a peaceful and truthful way that educates and gives understand and also inspires.
Your poetry moves me to tears, I weep for the love of Palestine that it invokes.
Thank you for your generous words about my poetry; coming from you, it means a lot to me. Thank you.
