To My Secret Beloved Poem by Besma Jemaa

I may be an alien,
An illegal alien,
In an illegal world,
But I have to be MYSELF
No matter what they say.
In a world full of hypocrisy and neglecting dignity
I won’t submit easily.
Enough what’s happening next door
To the People of Palestine ‘Cause
Horror, crime and war
From Sunrise to Dawn.

Never on such occasion will I forget
The tongue in my mouth won’t wait for a let,
To remind everyone our duty to pray
For the sake of our brothers and sisters away
Telling them no matter what ‘they’ say
Our hearts with you will forever stay.
