TITLE: "Resistance!!"

AUTHOR: Majed Abu-Ghoush

DATE: December 30, 2000

I plant my poetry in the streets,

in every quarter and every alley,

a poem...resisting the conquerors!

I plant my fingers in the streets,

in every hole, in every flower pot:

a finger...resisting the conquerors!

I plant my blood in the streets,

on every sidewalk, on every roadsign:

a drop of blood...resisting the conquerors!

I plant my dreams in the streets,

in the heads of passers-by:

an infant dream...resisting the conquerors!

I plant the names of my loved ones

in the streets,

on every tree, on every wall:

the name of a martyrresisting the conquerors!

I plant the colors of the flag

in the streets, on every house,

and every window and door:

a color...resisting the conquerors!

I plant my children's luggage

in the streets at every roadblock,

at every checkpoint:

a suitcase...resisting the conquerors!

I plant my hands in the streets,

on every corner:

a firm handresisting the conquerors!
