Poem: “Homeland"
What is Homeland?
Theme: Homeland
What is homeland?
It’s the land that never tired
to be a mother.
Even when her neck is under
the sharp knife of an occupier.
What is homeland?
It’s the land that never tired
to stand again.
Even when they leave her
four limbs amputated.
What is homeland?
It’s the land that never tired
to be a home.
Even when her body is shivering
and the tent is very cold.
