Samer Issawi

My name is Samer

I am alive

I am still alive

I will forever be alive

Just like my Falastin

My name is Samer

I am strong

I am stronger than you think

Forty eight kilos and counting

Downwards

Just like my Falastin

My name is Samer

I don't need food

I don't need water

I eat dignity

I drink freedom

They taste better than life

My name is Samer

I may die

But not my name

You may burry my body

But like olive trees I will grow back

Everywhere in Falastin

My name is Samer

I have two mothers

One is suffering for I might die

She's called: Mama.

The other, I might die for

She's called: Falastin
