Something About ‘palestine'! Poem by Najib Altawell

In Palestine
The dying clouds
Hastily changing
Hastily moving
And
Westerly bound


In Palestine
A blue horizon
Is rapidly forming
Creating
Unstoppable
Middle Eastern
Tide


In Palestine
The message of love
Has been
Polluted
Loving other than
Your own
Has no place
In the heart
Nor in the mind


In Palestine
What is ‘Yours'
Can be ‘Mine'
Even when resistance
Born out of
Desperation
Including from
Bedouin
Desert
Tribes


Force
Occupation
Killing
Deportation
To the occupier
Certainly
They are not
‘Crime'


In Palestine
The olive tree
Always survive
No matter
What
Is ‘Going on'
No matter
What
Is ‘the state'
Of the ‘Minds'


In Palestine
Is ‘where'
The beginning of the
End
Will commence
For this cycle
Of
Humanity
For this cycle
Of
‘Time'
