The Girl From Arroz (Poem) (By Jafar Alam)


When the sky weighed low and heavy, like a lid
On the exhausted spirit, given up the fight
And over the whole horizon it was solid
Pouring out a black day more sad than the nights
The girl from Arroz arrives
To teach me how to long for the immense beauty of the ocean
And though it is okay if we find ourselves lost in its depths
All that matters, is that we never come out of it again
There was a sadness that lived in her eyes
Like the cracked window of a house that had long been abandoned

We died quietly each day 

Quite afraid to live 
Quite afraid to die
On the night of her departure
Her eyes, like glass, cried diamonds 
When I said “farewell”
I held her 
As the night holds the moon
The sunrise stole our dreams 
And I was left chasing her shadow

All my strengths knelt to one weakness
In her 
Rises my sun
Away from her 
Lays eternal night
I tell her to close her eyes
And call it “escape” 
One day we’ll run away from everything
I close my eyes 
And fall in love with all the parts of her 
She cannot see ©

For anyone who wants a simple proof that Palestine existed before 1948 
Here’s a coin from 1927 worth 10 Mils (this currency is no longer used) ... 

Also note that the word “Palestine” is written in both Arabic and Hebrew ...
Indicating not only a Jewish presence, but a prominent one ... 

Jews and Arabs DID live side by side in peace ... 

The Zionist idea that they cannot coexist is an absolute fallacy ...

Pope Francis ...


Never war !!! 
Never war !!! 
I think most of all about children 
Whose hopes for a dignified life 
A future are dashed 
Dead children
Wounded children
Mutilated children
Orphans
Children who have the leftovers of war for toys
Children who don't know how to smile 

Stop it, please !!! 
I beg you with all my heart !!! 
It's time to stop !!!




Let's remember that 
Everything is lost with war 

And nothing is lost with peace
