I don't want to free Jerusalem.

i don't want to free Jerusalem.

an idiot just said on TV that this is happening so that we understand a bit of what the palestinians are feeling in Gaza and the West Bank.
I personaly had at least 14 out of my 28 years to understand...

1978 was not a good year in this part of the world.. my world.

I don't want to free Palestine
I don't want to change the world


I would if i could
with my small means and my small hands and what remains of my small heart

but i just want a country of my own
i want my family reunited
i want not to hear my mother's tears on the phone
i want to live myself to death

i want to help others and know i am not on a death row ... "carrying my coffin on my shoulder"...courting others to their coffins

i want to be something other than a victim on TV
a trapped person in a trapped population in a trapped country

i want the cameras to stop rolling


i want to have my intimate moments back

i want to die with the ones i love
away from reporters and sad tragedies and narratives

i want our lives to stop being frozen on cameras... under ruines.
i want the world to stop watching

i want my sea back
i want my house back

i want time to go back... i want time to go forth.

i just want my country back.

is that too much to ask?
