Homeland

Theme: Homeland

My homeland was never like other homelands

One day

It was a rebel

Dreamer

But it was never

A safe haven for me

It was hungry

Homeless

A land for tents

I am in it like a bird that did not find

A hug to build a nest

The land of my country

Fertile

Drenched in blood

Martyr after martyr is thrown upon it

Mothers are widows

Fathers are crying

Families from the records

Deleted

Children are torn apart

Shrouds are hanging

Fragments of bodies

People are burned

Corpses mixed with other corpses

Gathered with a piece of cloth

Its name or identity is unknown

How can I see my homeland

Full of love

How are homelands built

How can my homeland live

Without bloodshed

Without a racist wall

And barbed wire barriers

I want to walk it

In one piece

From the river to the sea
