Marria Attar Poems

Killers, killers
Killers think that what they’re doing is right
Always wanting to start a fight
Thinking that that’s a way to show they’re strong
...

I think about you every day
I dream about you every night
I always pretend that you are there right beside me
I want to believe that you love me
...

I woke up one morning at 3 o’clock at night
And I saw this light surrounding me
I went over to wake up my sister
To make sure that she too could see
...

Proud to be who you are?
Never hoping to change
Your infamous personality won’t take you so far
I wish for you there’s an exchange
...

The mosque in our dear country Palestine
The mosque that is pumping in our hearts
The mosque that should belong to all Muslims
The mosque that is slowly falling apart
...

He was mine
Before he got to know you
He was mine
And I know that you knew
...

They have stolen our land
They’re trying to destroy it as much as they can
Killing every person alive
From woman to child to man
...

Yes, I am a PALETINIAN and I’m proud to be
I don’t give a damn on what people think about me
A strong and fearful PALESTINIAN, yeah that’s who I am
If you wanna insult me come say it to my face...That’s if you can
...

I’m sorry
I’m sorry for breaking your heart
I thought I was being smart
Thinking that ignoring you would do any good
...

A cry is a word the heart can't say
A cry is a tear let down by pain
Caused by despondence and dismay
A cry that is left to flow in every vein
...
