Beloved people of Gaza
Treasured heroes of Palestine
.
.
Teachers of love, courage and dignity
Archetype of humanity
.
.
Allow me to kneel down
And wash your feet with my tears
.
.
Kiss your blessed hands
And sprinkle your beautiful faces
With musk and scented rose petals
.
.
While we sat pondering like fools
Utterly helpless
Talking much and doing little
Going round and round in circles
Thinking how to help
What to offer you to relief some of your pain
.
.
As usual
Full of surprises
.
.
You come out to our rescue
Soothe our agony
You offer most precious gifts
.
.
Lessons in bravery
.
.
Steadfastness, patience, perseverance,
Defiance, resilience
.
.
Optimism against all odds
Creativity in the face of utter oblivion
.
.
You’ve demonstrated
We are the captives
You are the free one
.
.
You have chosen resistance over subjugation
.
.
You decided
Never to surrender
Never to be enslaved
Not even to superpowers
Would we ever learn from you?

Poetry for Palestine 
So true, Nahida. Palestine will not truly be free until “Israel” is no more. Every single jew needs to go back to where they came from (with apologies to wherever they came from). Every single inch!

Dear readers
My apologies again for subjecting you to such profanity. I do not censor such foul comments for the sake of exposing the moral bankruptcy of those who occupy the Holy land Palestine and their supporters outside Palestine. Sincere apology again.

Great Palestine our liberator
You are our great teacher
Our heart our soul
Our light that shines through the darkness
Reaching with each breath
Each a blossoming flower in the heat of the desert
You are the struggle that makes us whole
So I sit before you as my teacher
And bow down before your grace
Palestine you are the living heart
The lion of the human race
