Ahmed Miqdad: I’ve written this poem with a hope that I’ll survive the horrible massacre. I hope you enjoy reading and give your reflection.
“If I survive”
If I survive,
I’ll fly a white and long-tailed kite for the poet’s soul.
If I survive,
I’ll have a rest and never surrender fighting the oppressors.
If I survive,
I’ll tell the generations about their horrible genocide
Against the innocent Palestinians.
If I survive,
I’ll search for the remains of humanity and the so-called democracy.
If I survive,
I’ll cry over the lost children under the debris.
If I survive,
I’ll recite the hymns of peace to light up the dark world.
If I survive,
I’ll narrate the tale of the killed beloved
Who left their places in my heart empty.
If I survive,
I’ll write down on the beach free free Palestine
And scream loudly perhaps the deaf world will hear.
If I survive,
I’ll send my love as peace doves carrying the olive branches
To the capitals of the free world.
If I survive.
Ahmed Miqdad
