Not Looking Away
Not Looking Away Yussra MT Ebrahim 10/20/2023 Let’s play “How Many Wrongs Can You Find in This Picture?” First, and this one should really count for several points, I spy the seventy-five years of oppression of the Palestinian people via Israeli occupation since the Nakba, Israel’s apartheid policies, and their sixteen-year blockade of Gaza, infamously making it “the world’s largest open-air prison,” in which its densely-packed civilian population, half of which are children, have limited access to water, food, and medicine. All of these horrific injustices have of course been denounced by international human rights organizations for years, yet have again and again failed to make headlines. Now there are also currently developing Israeli war crimes to add to the list: a second Nakba and ethnic cleansing, displacement and loss of life on a tremendous scale, the victims largely children, or as Israel likes to call them, “human shields.” Shame on everyone who refers to this decades-long
una poesia scritta per Vittorio Arrigoni dal poeta e scrittore palestinese,
rifugiato in Giordania, Ibrahim Nasrallah.
Solo uno degli esempi che raccontano da soli l’enorme amore che il popolo palestinese
ha sempre avuto e ha per Vik:
“Hanno ucciso tutti
Hanno ucciso tutti
hanno ucciso tutti i minareti
e le dolci campane
uccise le pianure e la spiaggia snella
ucciso l’amore e i destrieri tutti, hanno ucciso il nitrito.
Per te sia buono il mattino.
Non ti hanno conosciuto
non ti hanno conosciuto fiume straripante di gigli
e bellezza di un tralcio sulla porta del giorno
e delicato stillare di corda
e canto di fiumi, di fior
keep your eyes open
in this endless night
as a sentinel
with no voice
you wait for the faster star
that will take you...
and that will save you...
Gaza
keep your eyes open
in the waking
of the long night
listen
beat harder
your heart
is a single sound, which
never dies
yes... will never dies...
this night sails fast
over the world
I hear its noise
while I'm falling asleep
but... I'll not dream...
not this night
hold me
Gaza
between war and the wonderwe will
understand this night
all the way
of this love
because we are
we are not alone
Gaza
hold me
Gaza
we will burn 'till
to light the last sky
which way to go
which ocean navigate
though everything
moves and flows
without any control
rugged roads
troubled waters
let oneself go
without navigating
get carried
by the tides
simple "becoming"
without any hindrance

quale strada percorrere
quale mare navigare
se tutto
si muove e scorre
senza alcun controllo
impervie strade
acque agitate
lasciarsi andare
senza navigare
farsi trasportare
dalle maree
semplice "divenire"
senza alcun ostacolo
