Telling Our Stories: A Tough Woman

27Nov08

مش معقول شو قوية أنا بعرف!
بس اللي ما بيعرفوا لهلأ مين قواني
و شو قواني
كل الهوا اللي بيني و بينه
صوت الولا شي عم بوسوس بداني
خلاني قوية…
مبارح مثلا، أمي غفيت حاضنة المصحف على صدرها الحديد
و لو شو ما صار، ولو البحر يندلق على القمر

Rahma Campaign: Have Mercy On Migrants

26Nov08

A new Ad campaign that’s worthy of mention has been aired on MBC channels for a few weeks now and I must say that I’m totally impressed. The subject this time is migrants’ rights, an issue we have sort of swept under the carpet for decades. It’s time to acknowledge foreign labor and domestic workers [...]

Telling Our Stories: A Fighter

لا تجرأ على الاستسلام…
و ساعداها بالورد مكفنان
لا تجرأ على الاستيقاظ من فجر متصعد…
و جفناها بالنصر الندي مرسومان
نضرة هي كجسد عذراء مستلسمة…
لابتسامات ثغر مطبوعة على جيدها

و بفرشاتها ستظل تلطخ المشهد المعتاد
أحرجت مبادءهم عندما حطمت كبيرهم الذي علمهم القهر
و بأصابعها التهمت خطاياهم حتى الغضب
ضمت اليها حقول الأحلام…
حتى الفقاعات التي هربت [...]
