Al-Ahli Arabi, Arab Nation Hospital

 





The hundreds who have died there


They have done it without having a face or name


But the spirits of him spin on my chest


They don't rest


They ask for their voice, to recover their gaze


Touch the water of the Mediterranean


Biting the dates


Return to coffee with cardamom.


 


The fire fell on the displaced


Hundreds of them were refugees


Beings piled up in the hospital courtyard


poor among the poor


Living souls among the rocks of hell


 


The doctor Ghassan Abu Sitá


He says the ceiling fell on his operating room


They say it was a war accident


They say it was pure cruelty


we lack so much love of humanity


war hardly hurts or overwhelms


 


The names of the victims are silent


The dreams of an old fisherman do not appear


The poem of a pregnant mother


children's toys


The tears on a father's face


In short, what makes them human and not just numbers.


 


I promise that I will look for your sparkles


To celebrate their lives


Reveal their faces, their ideas


The love that shone in his eyes


The tragedy of more than two million civilians


Prisoners in besieged Gaza
