(16:30) Palestine has such a Way of seeing, of thinking, of Being…
Here, go inside. Go there.
Go in, to the hunger you feel, as the price of healthy foods rise,
As the medicines and healing you need keep being denied.
As the national priority is to ban a social app,
As dark water-poison still pours from our taps.
As tent cities in your minds grow, just like your unease;
That you’re just a paycheck from joining their ranks…
Home: A charade.
Cease-fire is a start; hardly the end -
Time is a cruel friend.
What to do, with Time not yet spent?
The bombs hit us all a bit different.
(Economic munitions are so eerie-silent.)
But as a matter of course,
In the quiet violence…
You’ll come to know, when it hits you:
They all came from the same Source.
Palestine is within us all; we must free it. - Refaat Alareer, paraphrased
Thank you for sharing our inner thoughts. I appreciate your work and comments more than you could know. When I hear of deaths in the israeli Genocide Force, I find myself cheering. That event several years ago I would be horrified at having that feeling. Revenge is something I am not comfortable with however, it seems necessary not unlike Luigi. Is this feeling becoming more and more prevalent with people who had been non-violent? People laugh when I stop pick-up an insect or use a glass to trap a spider and take them to relative safety, yet I was destroyed by the IGF genocidal maniac escaping from Brazil to Argentina. I spent many mins. berating friends/co-workers who are Argentine, demanding they write or speak to Argentine officials on defending Genocide. I downloaded TicToc before it was banned just because. Remember, 10 mins. of meditation for David Lynch on global peace 12 p.m. Dr. KIng's holiday : ) Just think if the world could be quiet for 10 mins like a clock around the world : )
