Poem: Shall I tell you a story
Hello readers, I'm back after a short break. I think this time is enough for a break, not too long, nor too short
So today's poem is on the topic of the ongoing Palestine issue, maybe I'm quite late in this regard, and I should've done this pretty sooner, well, I had intended to do so, but ideas won't come to me and yet, when they had finally sprung up, I picked up my pen and started filling pages of my diary.
Shall I tell you a story?
A story of excitement and happiness
A story of love and hugs
A story of peace and prosperity
A story of the clear blue skies,
and the lush green land of figs, olives, and prophets
A story of the names embroidered on my family tree
A story of my old home
A home long lost
Shall I tell you a story?
A story of tears and sadness
A story of harshness and bitterness
A story of shoves and hatred
A story of loss and despair
A story of patience and resistance
A story of the dark, grey skies
And the grey, barren land of the dead
A story of names written on their legs
A story of my new home
A home that is soon to be lost
🇵🇸🤍🫂
