My Modest Dream
by TamerİFeb.14th 2004, Deheisheh Camp,
Bethlehem.
Father Time said to me, after I had
endured much sorrow
and anguish:
-Rely upon the love of your parents
and all
the
sisters and brothers
create your fragile dream and
leave the inaccessible world of fantasy
Plant
flowers
to enjoy the view and attract wild creatures
I obeyed Father Time after a long period of
delusion
Not wholeheartedly though, but to overcome the tears of
sorrow
As I reached my objective, as I neared
creating
my dream
I was awakened by tears
By the
sound of
bullets, and the extinguishment of candles
The
crypt of
a loved one, who refused to submit, was illuminated
One
who said NO to Tyranny
NO to terror
NO to
those who
are trite and thankless.
I pursued the sound
The sad tears belonged to a
child
who was trying to kneel and pray
He said:
-Father, please stay
No, you shall never
die
we shall
go back home to the land of our fathers
We shall
eat
the berries
We shall not be stopped by the barrier
guard
Not even by their famous missiles.
I closed my eyes to prevent them crying
All I saw
here
was women defiled, and there
murdered souls and
bloodletting.
I escaped along with my reality and my dreams
Truth
and
illusion
My world
my time
I intended to
return
To
plant a hope stronger than the incandescence of the
sun
That can reinstate truth justice and peace
And
restore
the sunshine

The Sad smile will be happy if there will be
justice
and love with peace
