Remember.
For Bisan, Motaz, Lama and Reem
Every adult and child who declared to be seen
May we hold your cause in these coming days
For you’ve shown the world what it means to be brave
What it means to breathe life even as it’s taken away
At day 467, let the records show:
The age where a genocide streamed live to our phones
Through Instagram reels and broken lenses
Where allegiancеs grew through posts and mentions
To the millions of us who took to thе streets
With cardboard and paint, rose to march every week
Our distance brings a strength of sorts
It’s up to us to hold their cause
To be free isn’t a passing phrase
It’s a clarity of mind and physical space
It’s the right to live in place.
If there’s one thing you do and nothing more
Know that - to remember is to hold
Remember for those wishing to forget
Remember for all the souls we haven’t met
Wherever you are remember
for peace
is the day where Palestine is truly free.
~ Love, Amahla
