Witness Gaza
I don’t want to end up in a bag!!
-Amira Alzaneen, from I Am No Longer Afraid To Die: Witness Gaza
I give up everything... except my death
I want a full shroud, 192 cm long.
I will not give up my paradise, I want it complete
I want my arms, my feet, my heart, my head,
my twenty fingers, and my eyes too...
I want to return to the womb of the earth,
as I was created from it.. the same earth here in this Country..
I don’t mind being buried in a mass grave.
But I want my name on the witness, my age as well,
and that I am from here, from this slaughtered homeland...
I would like, with all my bitterness, for my grave to be in a real
cemetery, not a street, not a sidewalk, not anything else...
As our last wish and right... farewell in it
All we wish and want.
