"Write down: I am an Arab Robbed of my ancestors’ vineyards And of the land cultivated By me and all my children. Nothing is left for us and my grandchildren Except these rocks… Will your government take them too, as reported? Therefore, Write at the top of page one: I do not hate people, I do not assault anyone, But…if I get hungry, I eat the flesh of my usurper. Beware…beware…of my hunger, And of my anger."

Identity Card (بيتقات هواية) by Mahmoud Darwish

Darwish was born and raised in Palestine, until having to flee to Lebanon with his family due to the 1948 Arab-Israeli war as a result of his village being captured by Israeli military.

Written in 1964, this poem is in protest against Israeli forces. In July 2016 this poem had resurfaced in controversy, with Israeli defence minister Avigdor Lieberman, who was enraged by the poem, comparing it to Hitler's Mein Kampf.

The Deluge and the Tree

When the hurricane swirled and spread its deluge

of dark evil

onto the good green land

'they' gloated. The western skies

reverberated with joyous accounts:

"The Tree has fallen!

The great trunk is smashed! The hurricane leaves no life in the Tree!"

Had the Tree really fallen?

Never! Not with our red streams flowing forever,

not while the wine of our thorn limbs

fed the thirsty roots,

Arab roots alive

tunneling deep, deep, into the land!

When the Tree rises up, the branches

shall flourish green and fresh in the sun,

the laughter of the Tree shall leaf

beneath the sun

and birds shall return.

Undoubtedly, the birds shall return.

The birds shall return.

"____ fell first but ____ fell harder" to YOU. personally i cannot like a ship unless they are both equally obsessed with each other

which is not a lot I'm afraid😭

happy in the sense that hira didn't think of himself as a lucky pebble or justify it in his brain as a mistake on god's part which would eventually end in misery
