In Palestine, Something Miraculous Happens

Posted on November 19, 2012 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

By Nahida- Exiled Palestinian

In Palestine

Terror reigns

Psychopaths claim dominance

and a “G-d given right“ to rob, kill and maim

In Palestine

Terror reigns

Smiles … wiped of innocent faces

Little girls weep

Little boys butchered

Babies are slain

In Palestine

Terror reigns

Criminals are the law

They bomb, they shoot, they smite

With mini-nukes they wipe life out

In Palestine

Terror reigns

Without “lamp-shades”, bodies mutilated

Without “cremation–ovens”, toddlers charcoaled

Without “gas-chambers”, Tiny tots… exterminated

In Palestine

Terror reigns

Aggressors crowned with “victim-hood”

Their victims… “anti-Semites”, “filled with hate” !

They murder then cry

Sneer as they lie

They twist and deceive, innocence they proclaim

Apart from themselves, Everyone to blame

In Palestine

Primary colours no longer three

Red and green, black and white

Freedom painted red… Love is green

Sacrifice and faith… black and white

In Palestine

Out of the ashes humanity rises tall

Resilience leaves you you speechless

Courage takes your breath away

and in contrast

Bottomless cowardice

As never seen before

In Palestine

Something miraculous happens

The more people die

The more hope is born!

Hope… Astounding

Bequest of the Divine

Seen in every face

Written with every name

Gaza Speaks

Posted on November 16, 2012 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

By Nahida Exiled Palestinian

LOOK AT ME

I would love to write poetry about love,

Paint rainbows and butterflies,

Roll in a meadow

Enchanted with rosebud scent

Run down the hills with open arms

Embrace the Earth

Inhale the Sky

But… How can I?

How can I?

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is screenshot-2022-03-15-at-10.15.05.png

I would love to to dance for love,

Spin with jubilant nightingales

Swept off my feet

Twirl and sway

Besotted, entranced

As I sing a lullaby

I would love to fly

Roam the cosmos before I die

* * *

But how can I?

How can I?

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is screenshot-2022-03-15-at-10.15.09.png

I would love to sing for love

Flung open the gates of my soul

Invite the world in

Tuck it all under my wings

Rock back and forth

Caress its wounds

Whisper “I love you” in its ear

See it heal

Before my eyes

* * *

But how can I?

How can I?

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is screenshot-2022-03-15-at-10.15.14.png

I would love to close my eyes and see children smiling

Tell them stories of lily-like fairies in faraway lands

No guns pointing at their heads

Not of bullets shrieking or missiles exploding

No blood, no tears, no prison bars, no sighs

But

How can I?

There is a dagger in my heart

I am hurting

Hurting

I bleed

I cringe

I cry

HUMANITY, WHERE ARE YOU?

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is screenshot-2022-03-15-at-10.15.19.png

I am being slaughtered

Under your watchful eyes

I am cold… cold…. cold

I cringe

I cry

Humanity, where are you?

Why do you turn your face away?

Why do you keep looking the other way?

I am here

Languishing

In Palestine alleyways

Humanity, where are you?

Look at me

See me

I am here

Sighing

Fading away

In Gaza’s alleyways

I cringe

I cry

Humanity,

Enough turning the other way !

Turning a deaf ear

Turning a blind eye

While I,

and oh ! My poor children

Die

A lioness of Palestine !

Posted on November 3, 2012 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

Fearsome and Awesome

Look at you… My beloved

Look at you

This little fist of yours

Slams before the world

The final word

This little fist of yours

Says it all

RIGHT is GREATER than MIGHT

The sparkle in your eyes

BLAZING FIRE

Burns deep

Renders them to ashes;

Soulless shadows

Void of life

Void of love

Void of heart

Remnants of human beings

They wither away

Before your magnificence

They bow down

Lost… Defeated… Humiliated…

Drenched in shame

Humanity you embody

Dignity you teach

Wonders you inspire

Tall you stand, my sweetheart

Tall you stand

What mother of glory gave birth to you

O great daughter of Palestine

Your Tears

Your Pain

Your sacrifice

A Wake Up call

To a sleepy world

A zombie world

A beaten world

Who forgot what it means to be alive

Lift your fist

Shake your wrist

Move the world

Beloved daughter of Palestine

Hear her ROAR…World

Hear her roar

Hold her heart

Kiss her feet

Hear her roar

Be filled with Awe

URGENT… BREAKING NEWS

Posted on October 6, 2012 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

Goodness is Life

We all have seen the crime scene

Broadcasted live on our TV screens

We have seen the blood flowing

We have heard the deafening screams

The murder-weapon is known to all

Signed “with love” by some “chosen souls”

It thundered down with a “gracious” fall

A sigh of relief

followed the storm

It can’t get worse

We all exclaimed

We’ve hit rock bottom

We’ve seen it all

No my dears not so fast

That is simply not precise,

Far from it!

I forgot to tell you,

Mr Worst is yet to come

He is knocking at our doors

The camp of gory fantasise their “glory”

Huffing and puffing for their “mighty rise”

“Smite them all” their favourite hymn

Biocide became the madmen surname

Demons of Death, their middle-name

Just over there, across the divide

The Camp of Goodness noble, steadfast

A home for love, heart open wide

Not a predator nor a beast

Aggression is vice, he greatly abhors

But when pushed down, he has a bite

For the sake of truth, he lays down his life

Just like life, rich and mysterious

Majestic… graceful… vigorous … arcane

Patience is his middle name

Kindness fills his heart and soul

* * * * *

O dear friends, heed my call

“Survival of the fittest” is one big lie

The kind and righteous are the heirs

Most able to love, care and share

With open arms, they fully embrace

Dawn fast approaching, open your eyes

Laws of nature can’t be destroyed

Humanity is here to stay

Forces of darkness knows no way

To put off the light of one faint ray

Swarms of evil can’t exterminate

Seeds of nature, resilient, most pure

Thrive and survive, Divinely signed its DNA

Dear friend It’s not a pretty game

But
Abyss is a choice, so is Paradise

Avoid the void, shift your paradigm

Come what may, don’t ever lose hope

With glad tidings, I speak to you

Before the crowd, I gladly proclaim

Polarisation, well on its way

No standing on the fence, as per today

Blessed are the kind, blessed are the meek

Blessed are the ones who stand for the weak

David and Goliath, don’t you recall?

Be the little Davids of our time

Exactly like us, he only had a stone

Don’t waste time in pitiful blues

Shed off your pride and grumpy moods

Run to the arms of those who love you

Wipe off your tears and start a new

World, I Love You

Posted on October 3, 2012 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

We could learn so much from children, their love, their curiosity, their bewilderment, their optimism, their joy for the smallest things, their innate kindness, their natural ability to forgive and move on, and their resilience and miraculous way they bounce back after a fall, a fight or a cry

In times of great upheaval and when darkness prevails, it is the remembrance of what is important that will keep us going.

Hope thrives by sustaining and fostering our humanity, amidst the gloomy hours of turbulence and anguish.

The other day

I looked into your eyes

I saw Heaven

My heart giggled

Fluttered its wings

and flew away

Looking above, I saw my heart growing

Growing . . . growing

Filling up . . . Overflowing

Pouring out love

Embracing All

Engulfed in euphoria

Trees swayed in jubilation

Mountains imbibed within

Meadows twirled in elation

Sand trembled of devotion

Beautiful grins bounced around

* * *

Dolphins raced butterflies

Creeks jumped into River and rivers dived into the Ocean

Earth splashed its feet in cosmic dust

Supernovas danced while nesting within

Galaxies chased baby stars to heaven

In one eternal moment of singularity

Time and space ran away

Steadfast, my heart remained

Filled with awe my heart contained

All … there … is

Besotted, swept off my feet

I hooped and looped I swirled with joy

In disbelief, I looked down

Is that me?

Shrinking?

Petals scattered

A speck of dust . . . faded away

I am gone

What Really Matters!

Posted on September 29, 2012 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

Nahida the exiled Palestinian

When all gets dark

And life loses its colours

When evil tightens the grip

And the wicked leads the way

When fall falls before its time

and frost grows around

When your heart is torn and worn,

and you feel like throwing it away

Don’t give up, just wait a little while,

Turn your back

Close your eyes and

Remember what you have forgotten

Try to find if you’ve lost,

Apologize if you’ve hurt,

Forgive if you have been hurt,

Caress if you’ve been deprived,

Pursue, if you have dream

Share if you’ve been bereft,

Giggle if you’ve been aggrieved,

Embrace if you’ve been shun,

Give if you’ve been denied,

Excel if you’ve been scorned,

Feed if you’ve tasted hunger

Rejoice if you’ve felt somber

Accompany those who know

Hold on tight to those you love,

Cherish those who care for you,

Because life is too short

and it is full of wonder
