remember

Because it is our right

Anayat Durrani outlines plans to mourn 60 years of tragedy

Sixty years on

against the occupiers wishes

We Exist

sons and daughters

of Ramleh, Haifa, Nasira

Jimzu, Imwas, Deir Yassin

We Remember

the villages destroyed

towns stripped of Arab names

manufactured, renamed, disguised

our homes filled with Palestinian memories

painted over with foreign colors

a bridal shop in Ramleh

selling strangers their happy dreams

in my house on our land

the house great grandfather Ali built

We Continue

We will always continue

Because the land longs for us

Because we long for the land

Because home is a Right

Because it is our Right

Because

We Exist

Because We

Remember

We will not stop

Until Return.
