The unity of our struggles... Darwish the poet says....he and I say her.. and they aasked her. I wish of us to join our struggles... share the words of a poet... Poem of the Land By Mohamoud Darwish And they asked him: Why do you sing? And he answered, as they seized him: I sing because I singâ€¦ And they searched his chest But could only find his heart And they searched his heart But could only find his people And they searched his voice But could only find his grief And they searched his grief But could only find his prison And they searched his prison But could only see themselves in chains From Poem Of The Land, Mahmoud Darwish (Written to commemorate five Palestinian girls killed by the Israelis, March 30, 1976, at a demonstration to protest Israeli seizures of Arab land).
