To Write Palestine

I know how it is, after they're done in the killing fields, they'll turn to ban your name in the dictionaries. But, on my car and on the trees, on the sands of desert, and on every beach, I will write your name. On all books in the library on the front page of New York Times On every cemetery gravestone, on every subway stop, I write your name. Even on the bombs that drop on your heads, on their weapons of mass destruction, on the forehead of their soldiers, I write your name.
