Palestinian
Well,
people never ask about what I love,
what I hate,
It seems that "I" have to fade
it seems that "I" is not important
because "I" is Palestinian.
I'm not allowed to work,
I'm not allowed to get proper education,
I'm not allowed to talk,
I'm not allowed to speak of liberation.
They call me a refugee,
but, dear, I am a slave.
I'm not a terrorist
I'm not blinded by religion
I'm not blinded by traditions
I'm only human
I have no liberty
because of my nationality.
You, who call our for human rights,
Am I not human?
Am I not a victim of insignificant fights?
Well,
All I know is that I'm alive,
I exist.
So keep your prejudiced selves away from me,
and let me be,
let me be free.
I am only a human
a human
I have a beating heart
I love art
I have ambitions
and dreams
stop shattering me
because of a nationality.
A rant.
