Palestine

"Write down,

I am an Arab.

I work with comrades of toil in a quarry,

and I have eight children,

for them I wrest a loaf of bread,

clothes and school books

from the rocks,

and do not ask for alms at your door

or lower myself

at your doorstep.

Does this anger you?"

by Mahmoud Darwish.
