No escape

Friday, April 30, 2010




No escape

In my heart dwells the pain of the oppressed

Rivers of their wounds pour down

Drenching the ocean of my sorrow

I am the voice of the voiceless

The howl of little ones as they fade away

My whispers shoot like bullets

In the ears of the wicked

My words explodes

Before his eyes

Muting his lies


He looks away


Pretending not to see

Not to hear

My murmurs pierce his bubble

My tortured shadow follows

No escape


He runs to bed

Covers his head

Sleep might rid him of me

My chopped limps chase his dream

He drowns in my tears

In my blood

Unable to breathe

Unable to cry

No escape


Time passes
…………………

……………………

……………………

Then he dies

……………………

…………………….

…………………….

Only to be greeted with my smile

He’d hoped he’d never see

As he was chained and dragged away

To meet his deeds

No escape

Lovers don’t rape





By Nahida The Exiled Palestinian

Jerusalem
Sweet Jerusalem


What did they do to you!

Claiming your love

But cause you none
But sorrow and pain

Sweet Jerusalem
I heard you crying that night
Your frail beautiful frame
Trembling… aching… diminishing…
Your sad eyes avoiding mine



Sweet Jerusalem

I want to crawl towards you…
To kiss the aromatic scent
Of your ancient alleyways
Fall on my knees… repenting…
At Damascus gate
Howling
I failed you… I let you down


Sweet Jerusalem

I want to embrace

That blue stripy dress of yours
Burry my face… burry my shame

Weeping
Asking your forgiveness


I’ve witnessed the crime



Sweet Jerusalem
I want to kneel down
Put my arms around you
Caress your weary brow
And murmur
Pardon me my dearest
I am sorry sweetheart



Sweet Jerusalem
I want to untangle your jet-black hair
Comb your gorgeous curls
Adorn your plaits with rainbow ribbons
And whisper… habibti
You look stunning today
Habibti… now show me
Your most charming… much missed smile

The Other Side of the Story!

The Other Side of the Story!


We have heard the Palestinian side of the story,

as you can see from the images below:














    Now, let’s see the other side

    of the story, shall we?

    The carnage, the destruction, the annihilation,
    the pain, and the horror caused by qassam rockets:







(the world must donate some billions to help us reconstruct the damage)
(I didn’t know that Palestinian spoke Hebrew!!)



















(WOW… What a precision!! THREE rockets tucked neatly in ONE hole!)
(it’s worth a pose for a photo)
