ποίημα


Mahmoud Darwish
(15 March 1941 – 9 August 2008)

"Darwish is the Essential Breath of the Palestinian people, the eloquent witness of exile and belonging...."

Record! I am an Arab

And my identity card is number fifty thousand

I have eight children

And the ninth is coming after a summer

Will you be angry?

Record!

I am an Arab

I have a name without a title

Patient in a country

Where people are enraged. . .

I do not hate people

Nor do I encroach

But if I become hungry

The usurper's flesh will be my food

Beware..

Beware..

Of my hunger

And my anger!
