Algo in the Genocide

Sliman Mansour – Jamal al-Mahamel (The Camel of Hardship)


Poem by Omar Sakr

Okay I won’t use the word Jewish
And I won’t use the word Zionist
And I won’t use the word genocide
And I won’t use the word apartheid
And I won’t use the word settler
And I won’t use the word colony
And I won’t use the word killed
And I won’t use the word watermelon
And I won’t use the word Palestine
And I won’t use the word resistance
And I won’t use the word law
And I won’t use the word moral
And I won’t use the word men
And I won’t use the word God
And I won’t use the word river
And I won’t use the word sea
And I won’t use the word free
And I won’t use the word children
For the young of _ are always _
What are we left with at the end?
A murdered dictionary and field
After silent field of unmarked graves.
