As-Salâmu ‘Alaykum wa Raĥmatullâhi wa Barakâtuh
A 2004 short poem I felt inspired to write because of Palestine’s sheer strength and faith. In the bleak depths of her oppressive suffocation, Palestine continues to bravely strive and fight for her survival, rights and freedom.
Black, the smouldering air she breathes in Raped, beaten, naked within her own skin Her children, she coats in sheets of pure white When their time has come to return to the light She walks on a natural carpet barely green With radiant grace and elegance so serene She stands tall and strong in her crimson dress With genuine dignity and pride and nothing less
