THE WRATHFUL
THE WRATHFUL......NEZAR QABBANI Leafbar

O pupils of Gaza . . .

Teach us . . .

A little of what you have

For we have forgotten . . .

Teach us. .

To be men

For we have men. .

Dough they become . . .

Teach us. .

How the rocks become

In the children's hands,

Precious diamond. .

How it becomes

The child's bicycle, a mine

And the silk ribbon. .

An ambush. .

How the feeding bottle nipple. .

If detained not

Turns into a knife . . . .

O pupils of Gaza

Care not. .

About our broadcasts. .

And hear us not. .

Strike. .

Strike . . .

With all your powers

And firmly in your hands take matters

And ask us not. .

We the people of arithmetic. .

And of addition. .

And of subtraction. .

Your wars do carry on

And abstain from us. .

We're the deserters

From the service,

Your ropes do bring

And hang us . . .

We're mortals. .

Who possess not tombs?

And orphans. .

Who possess not masters?

We kept already to our rooms. .

And we asked you

To fight the dragon. .

We've diminished, before you

A thousand century. .

And you've grown

-Within a month-Centuries. .

O pupils of Gaza. .

Return not. .

To our writings. . And read us not

We're your fathers. .

Do resemble us not. .

We're your idols. .

Do worship us not. .

We engage in

Political lies. .

And repression. .

And we build graves. .

And jails. .

Liberate us. .

From the fear problem in us. .

And expel

The opium from our heads. .

Teach us. .

The art of adherence to the Land,

And leave not. .

The Messiah saddened. .

O our beloved children

Salaam. .

May Allah render your day?

Jasmine . . .

From the cracks of ruined earth

You emerged forth

And planted in our wound

Musk rose. .

This is the revolution of notebooks. .

And ink. .

Do become on the lips

Melodies. .

Shower us. .

Heroism and pride

And from our ugliness wash us

Wash us. .

Fear neither Moses. .

Nor Moses' spell. .

And ready yourself

To harvest the olives

Verily this Jewish age

Is an illusion. .

That shall collapse. .

Albeit sureness we possess . . .

O madmen of Gaza. .

A thousand welcome . . .

In madmen,

If they liberate us

Verily the age of political reason

Has long bygone . . .

Do teach us madness . . .
