A letter from prison



 

Sameih Al-Qasim



Dear mother, it gives me great pain,
To think that my days pass in vain;
And when friends ask about me, you weep,
Because I am thrown away, in a deep
Dungeon that my enemies built for me,
To curb my liberty and kill the free
Fighters whose voice fills the land,
And brightens tomorrow, reviving the sand.
Yet, although I am caught, taken away,
My cell shall soon see the light of day.
Inside our prison, we continue the strife
To bring about once more the wondrous life!
Mother, our day of liberty shall come soon,
When we shall neither weep nor swoon!
