Manal Alharsha, Betunia, Chicago

When I return to Palestine, I will find a place where I won’t be alone
I’ll have a place to call my home
A little land, family owned
When I return to Palestine, I will start preparation
A long awaited celebration
Beyond realization
Leaving behind segregation
When I return to Palestine, I will remember all the sounds
Of a place buried under ground
The words that killed a people, pound by pound
No love lost
Much love Found
