(anonymous) I am Palestinian I am the Palestinian fury I am the diaspora The exile The lack of travel documents The absence of an identity card The prison cell I am interrogation The beating and torture Watch out for my anger I have not much patience for injustice Patience has its limitations I am administrative detention I am rubber bullets I am house demolitions I am deportation I am El-haram el-Ibraheimi Deir Yassin Sabra and Shateila Tal el-Za'tar Al-Aqsa... I am the Zionist officer slapping me across the face I am the humiliation of a foreign check point in my homeland I am prison cells and execution squads in Arabia I am terrorism and xenophobia in the West I am Tear gas cannisters I am Al-quds I blossom from the agony of my people I survive and return to my homeland with victory I am the haunting refugee returning The incessant memory returning The Palestinian of 48 The Palestinian of 67 The Palestinian of 98 The Palestinian of 2001 (The latest and best car model in refugee market) The insomnia in my occupier's bed the menage a trois when he sleeps with his wife I am the Intifada Five hundred thousand rocks hurled at once A Klashinkov I am the tameness of a wedding song The conviction of Palestinian Dabkeh steps The infatuation with the land I am wrapped in the red, black, white, and green I am resilience, virtue, and pride I am the tenderness of a young Palestinian lady's Palm and chest, her femininity, her strength, her mother-ness I am a Palestinian man's resilience, loyalty, and kindness I am Palestinian children's conviction that they will return someday I am Palestinian |
