“Baba and I are best friends
We often play and laugh till late
In his arms I felt like a king
Near his heart, I touched the moon”
But, once upon a freaky nightmare
Zipped out in a dark and eery night
Landed upon his Holy-Land
Ogres of death kidnapped his heart
Snatched it off and left a void
He holds on mama tight and weeps
Baba is gone, don’t leave me alone

Though I have not written this song, it resonates with my soul as if every word is mine
by Jello Biafra
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To be willing to give
When there is no more to give
to be willing to die
So honour and justice may live
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause
And I know if I’ll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I’m laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

Do this you lose,
Do that I win,
Losers !
You could imprison me!
With that you ONLY imprison my physical body
My joyful soul you cannot restrain
Out of your reach
Forever FREE
Floating in contentment, tranquillity and peace
Watching your despondent captive souls
Behind bars of your wickedness and lies
Walls of your guilt, fear and insecurity
***
You could kill me!
But my poetry is unassailable
The minds of many already impregnated with my words
As soon as you make me a martyr
Those seeds would be infused with life
Hubs of love
Like rays of sunshine… warm… tender… invigorating
Giving birth to a delightful dawn
Hubs of love
Like summer rain… pure… cleansing… revitalizing
Gushing through hearts and minds
Hubs of love
They’d bloom and multiply
Budding… hope, buoyant and sublime
Blossoming… verve and splendour
Just try

Our quest for JUSTICE through our pursuit of TRUTH is what should keep our intentions pure and our actions noble.
Our passion for humanity, beauty, harmony and equality is what allows love to grow in our hearts unhindered.
Like the Holy Land that is Palestine, it shines with goodness through the pursuit of its people for spiritual truth and by existing in harmony with nature and the pace of nature.
What makes it Holy and so breathtakingly beautiful is its embrace of that which is organic, pure and natural.
Thus, when we align ourselves in full harmony with the epitome of Nature’s Divine Laws, i.e Balance outlined with Beauty, translated in human terms as Justice embraced with Compassion, we become one with all there is.
If we slip, however, into following the deceptive and oppressive methods of those whom we oppose, we lose the battle and it would be our defeat.

Whenever I finish writing an article or a poem, I think to myself, that’s it now, I have said all what I needed to say, I have poked into wasps nests, divulged forbidden topics and delved into taboos, few are willing to touch. I have also expressed the very innermost deepest sentiments and thoughts of my being, I am done now. I am ready to depart. Nothing left to say or to write about.
Lo and behold,
Before I know it
I fall upon a crime
An image of life pulverised
A frozen tear of a beloved child
Stabs my heart
Coils my guts in crazy knots
Rips my soul
Like a dagger piercing into my existence
Like a volcano erupting in my conscience
Like a burning bullet whizzing through my mind
My limbs tremble in agony
My hearts pounds like thunder
I weep of pain
I scream of rage and anger
A poem is born
Other times,
Wondering in my world
I fall upon a dream
A vision tickles my heart
Melt it away, like butter on a hot tray
Like a baby’s hand
Wrapped around my finger
Like a blanket of stars
Embracing my estrangement
Caressing my wounds
Swaying my soul in an ocean of love
Whispering a lullaby of heaven in my ear
I twirl in dazzlement
Wallow in delight
My heart pounds like thunder
My eyes moisten of joy
My limbs tremble in ecstasy and bewilderment
A poem is born

As curious lenses compete to capture our tears
Our pain-drenched smiles radiate, redefining the meaning of beauty
.
.
Shackled with chains of occupation and oppression
Our awe inspiring dignity leaves you astounded
.
.
Tear-gassed with poison, sprayed with skunk, tasered with hatred
Our mothers plant hearts, sprout love, flower compassion
.
.
Besieged in concentration camps, Gaza, Nabi Saleh, Nabi Samuel, Beit Iksa, Beit Hanina, Silwan
Our children laugh at your shortsightedness, continue to play
.

Denied Identity, freedom, Return, and simply the right to be
Palestine grew, a symbol of resistance, Palestinians, inspiration to all mankind
.
.
Used as “guinea pigs” to test weapons and practice their supremacy
Cherished, the spearhead of global resistance
.
.
“The old will die, the young will forget” they fantasised
We embraced life with passion unmatched
.
.
.
.
Rafeef is right, her mighty words roar
In all shades of anger
