Ahmed Miqdad from Gaza ""We are not numbers"

 

My name is Ahmed Miqdad from Gaza city, Palestine. I'm a father to four children and I'm a Palestinian teacher and a poet. I have published three poetic books and a short novel. My goal is to make the people around the world aware of our Palestinian cause through my words.

"We are not numbers"

We are not numbers,

We are the stars

In the dark sky,

That lead to the straight path.

We are not numbers,

We are the moon

During the bleak nights

That lights the dark world.

We are not numbers,

We are the olive tree

That lives in the barren dessert

Which gives light and fire

To burn the oppressors.

We are not numbers,

We are the Kuffeyia

Which decorates the shoulders

Of rebels and patriots.

We are not numbers,

We are the martyrs

Who irrigate land with blood

To liberate the stolen land.

We are not numbers,

We are justice

To the oppressed

In the time of prejudice.

We are not numbers,

We are the curse

That chases the occupiers

Who have settled Palestine.

We are not number,

But we are the difficult number

That none can divide orsubtract.

We are Palestine.
