'With you we live
With you we march forward,
With you we hunger;
And when you die
We try not to die with you.
For upon your grave new wheat will grow,
And upon it new rain will fall;
And you will see us
Marching forward
Forward,
Forward.
(Darwish)
TO THOSE WHO SOWED
DEATH AND FED THE
EAGLES IN OUR LAND:
You will not prevail.
'because I bear in me
not my little life
but all the lives
and I walk steadily forward
because I have a thousand eyes
I strike with the weight of a rock
because I have a thousand hands
and my voice is heard on the shores
of all the lands
because it is the voice of all
those who cannot speak
all those who cannot sing
and who sing today with this mouth:'
PALESTINE WILL BE FREE.
JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL. |
