The Phoenix is Gaza ..

The Phoenix is Gaza ..

I Remember Today Four Years Ago

Was my first day in my New Job as an English Teacher  

I Remember, I was wearing New dark blue Jeans and a Red Jacket ..

Me in the Car Heading to my new Office

I Remember, Boom Boom Boom every where, jets and helicopters over our heads

I was so Close and couldn’t Go Back 

I Remember, the Faces of my New little Students, And their Tears 

We drove everyone back Home with fear thet the next Place on the road could be Attacked 

I Remember, My mum Phone calls, where are you ? Come Back now

Came back Home, thinking that it is just one Day and everything will be good Tomorrow 

I Remember, Opening the TV, Seeing the blood, the bodies and what is war about 

Hearing in the Radio News: Women Crying asking for help “we are Trapped in our Homes, Bodies everywhere. I Lost my Husband and my kids are crying we need Help Help us Please, Please send some one ICRC or anyone”! 

I Remember, I Cried .. I Screamed i wanted to help i wanted to do Something But i Couldn’t.

I Remember, Random People calling form Algeria , Egypt, Morocco, Syria, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia to say that we are with you, we will not leave you alone. Be Strong Be Strong Gaza.

I Remember, When we had no Cooking Gaz and mum made some food and bread by the old way on the wood. But she was Scared everytime, That the drones might think she is doing something Else.

Her voice every time before we go to Sleep ” Noor , Do you think whe should go to the Basement ? or it could Crash on us if they Attacked ? “ 

I Remember, They Attacked the Mosque ! Next the Hospital ! Next the UN schools ! Then it was Gaza, All of Gaza, They Killed Gaza ..

I Remember, the Mixed voice of the Apache , F16 Airplanes , Tanks Shelling , Drones , White phosphor bombs , Shooting and the Navi Shelling .. All in the Same time ..

I Remember, The Numbers, 200 dead .. 550 .. 800 .. 1100 .. more more more .. 1400

I Remember, I lost Two Cousins and a Friend, No in Fact i lost 700 Cousins and 700 Friends. 

I Remember, The Pain, The Fear, And I Will never Forget, Neither will Forgive. 

I Remember, The Hope , The Strength , the Love that with it .. Gaza Rised up Again ..

I Remember, What i have been taught, The Phoenix Reborn Itself from the Dust, And Gaza is like the Phoenix, No , I realised that the Phoenix is Gaza. 

The Phoenix is Gaza
