Palestine First!


Palestine First!


 

Samih Al-Qassem



Mother wind, our own tired Hager!
Prepare a little food now to offer
To your hungry sons, back from exile,
Tired, in need of rest for a while,
Torn by merciless guillotine blades.
They belong to a nation that wades
Through seas of blood towards home,
That has been forced to stray and roam:
We have unfolded our loud screams
In the dark slumber of our dreams;
We have been the victims of executioners,
Taught virtue by libertine adulterers;
Yet, like the phoenix, here we rise
Pram the dead. Like a living surprise!
