Arwa Ben Dhia: Poem ‘Palestinada’


Motherland,
Womb of homelands,
Jewel of civilisations,
Cradle of religions,
How many wars have you endured!
May your scarred soil
Be covered with flowers!
May the scent of thyme fill the air!
May the olive tree endure!
Palestine, you are,
Palestine, you shall be —
Etched forever
Upon the map of our memories.
Arwa BEN DHIA
