The white shawl
was once a symbol of purity,
but now
it becomes a witness
to a great sacrifice
and an unhealing wound
The white shawl of
The Gazan woman
was stained with the blood
of her martyred mother,
And with the bleeding
Of this Land
This blood will continue
to tell the story
of us,
And of
an unbroken homeland.
