A poem from Abed in memory of Rachel.... >To Rachel Corrie with love > >Would your death, dear Rachel, wake the dead >World who watches our death sleeping in its bed ? >Would the world remain silent and continue to be misled >And with lies, hypocrisy and ignorance continue to be fed ? > >Would your death, sweet Rachel, be another number >Added to the long list of martyrs and freedom fighters ? >No shame, no decency in the faces of those who govern >No humanity, no courage in the hearts of the occupiers > >Would your death, humane Rachel, beautiful flower >Be transformed into a threat to all those who seek the honor ? >Those who come from abroad defying the power >To rescue their fellow brothers despite differences of color ? > >Sweet, precious, dear Rachel >May the birds continue to sing your name >And the flowers, nourished by your treasured blood, >Illuminate the darkness of the world all around > >And your spirit continue to fly above our land >And our prayers accompany you, through the ocean and its sand >And our grief envelope your soul like a perfume in pain >With all your fellow martyrs in the sky above > >Be happy with all the martyrs of Palestine >Walk with them, hand in hand >Love is universal, love is humane >Forces of occupation, shall be erased by the rain > > > >AbdelFattah Abu-Srour, PhD >Director of Al-Rowwad Cultural and Theatre Training Center >____________________________________________ >Al-Rowwad is an Independent Center for artistic, cultural, and theatre >training for children in Aida Camp trying to provide a "safe" and healthy >environment to help children creativity and discharge of stress in the war >conditions they are forced to live in >Mobile: (972) 522 401 325- Telefax: +970 2 275 0030 > >email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web site: >http://alrowwad.virtualactivism.net
