The purpose of this piece was to protest why our world is being torn apart by nation and nation, city and city, village and village, family and family… Let’s not be apart from the same blood.
Let’s not make pity to our brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers. This poem also talks about Civil war in Syria. This piece aims to show our land is our life, our blood is our life and our life is our people.
I am proud of this piece because it is written by the blood of hope. Someday, all the different people will gather in one place and will have peace in their lives. I am also proud of this poem, because it is my first time writing with another person. It is powerful and it brings the peace, the freedom and the people’s rights.
I learned that sometimes working with a group is the best, even though it is a challenge to you. I also learned that writing protest letters/poems is very hard, because you have to put all your life and all your tears.
We have no difference like the animals
Now, we are Heaven and Ground.Now, we know what is violence.
Violence is tear and hell of pain.
There is only One city: Earth.
We are ONE.
Me and I — the connection is unbreakable.
We are LOYAL members.
We have faith in what we believe.
We don’t follow man-made rules.
We don’t believe what people say.
We don’t do what people tell us to do.
We follow our own RULES.
We believe what we think is RIGHT.
We do what GOD has given us.
If the world is the ocean
We will be like the school-fish.
The government will be like the shark.
A letter to the shark president
inspired by DAM
Dear, Mr. President
“Who’s the terrorist?
I’m the terrorist?!”
مين ارهابي؟
انا ارهابي؟
You’ve never gave me my rights, even when I’m living in my homeland
“Who’s the terrorist?
You’re the terrorist!”
مين ارهابي؟
انت ارهابي؟
Why terrorist?!
Because my blood is not calm
It’s boiling!
It’s like an ocean
made of 900 rivers,
made of the blood of 900 people,
that died since the uprising.
“Who’s the terrorist?
I’m the terrorist!”
مين ارهابي؟
انا ارهابي؟
You’ve killed my loved ones
Now I’m all alone
My parents driven out
But I will remain to shout out
“I’m not against peace
Peace is against me”
انا مش ضد السلام
السلام هوه ضدي
“And who are you?!
MR.Assad,
You don’t have much experience of leading
and how many orphans you’ve created
And you, the terrorist, calls me the terrorist!”
“Who’s the terrorist?
You’re the terrorist!”
مين ارهابي؟
انت ارهابي؟
We’ll overcome our pain…
