THESE STREETS!

These Streets! One cannot forget these intimidating up and down stares furiously targeting the good citizens of this town. Who are these people, these faceless bullies and where did they come from? We used to fill and occupy these streets from corner to corner and screamed all day long as kids. Hey. We feared nothing at all because these streets belonged to us. We will not allow our streets to be deserted in broad daylight as if we’re back to pandemic days! My mother and father were born and met on these streets. I lived under their shadows after they introduced me to these same streets. I grew up on these streets, I know and speak the language of these streets and unreservedly own these streets. These streets gifted me my place in the sun and all the wokeness that comes with my birthright. I wrote these verbs, prose, and verbiage for you because I can.  To remind all and sundry that Pikelela left his footprints on these timeless streets. Yep, these streets are mine, and I own the ...

My world and my town did not look anything like what I see today: everything has changed. I feel like my original artist who first painted my world had died; what is going on? Fading with the stars may seem like ...

  I Am A Palestinian Child! For nine long months my mother carried and nurtured me inside her blessed womb. Like all unborn babies I kept playing, twisting and turning in my aqueous world. Without fear or care to whatever was happening around in my mother’s world. I was happy! They say the odds for anyone of us to be born into this world are one in half a billion. I was the one in a billion to make it to my mother’s womb. For nine long months I remain oblivious to the cruel world which awaited me with bated breath! Then one day, the alarm bells went off and my mother went into labour for my imminent arrival. It was the biggest day for my parents and grandparents. Being born and growing up in Gaza and one of the most crowded places on Earth isn’t any baby’s wish. For some reasons stemming from the frightening sounds I used to get every time a gun was fired or from whistling missiles! I was already paralyzed and traumatised with fear even in my infantile stage. ...
