IF I WERE PALESTINIAN ~ Achmad Atho’illah Fathoni

(Dedicated to the Palestinian poet and writer Munir Mezyed)


If I were Palestinian
I’d make missiles from verses
To fight the thieves
Those who murder civilization

If I were Palestinian
I’d sing songs
from Darwish’s poems
Till the dust of city
Turns into lights

If I were Palestinian
I’d carve my name
on each stone
to be thrown
toward the real war criminals

If I were Palestinian
I’d spray the perfume
of Mezyed’s poems
till the wind turns them into
A Cloudy sky
pouring the rains of humanity

If I were Palestinian
If I were Palestinian
