Duha’s Miracle Poem
Duha - Miracle Poem
Theme: Miracle Poem
I’m a miracle
No
I’m an owl, I stay awake at night,
I enjoy the quietness of an airstrike.
I’m a miracle
No
I’m an old nomad
I love to evacuate every week or so
To where
To the unknown
I’m a miracle
No
I’m a socialite
I love being imprisoned with forty or fifty people,
Use the same restroom
Have the same canned food.
I’m a miracle
No
I’m an ignorant
By choice left school
To the school of animosity
To learn the mercy from the unmerciful
To learn love from haters
I’m a miracle
No, I’m a liar
I’m a victim
No, I’m a dreamer
And cause I’m Gazan.
I am a miracle.
