While Palestine and Palestinians are being categorically wiped as inhumanly as possible in a Genocide.

I am remembering the Palestinian Writer, Poet, Martyr Refaat Alareer.

A solitary ember, a golden flare,
Caught in branches, cold and bare.
Amid the gray, its warmth survives,
A fleeting spark where winter thrives.

Brick and stone stand strong, aloof,
Under a clouded, muted roof.
Yet there it hangs, defying skies,
A quiet hope that never dies.

When will this chronic cycle of sadness end?

কোনো একদিন ভোর আসবে—
যে ভোরে চা-বাগানের শ্রমিকদের আর লবণ দিয়ে ভাত গিলতে হবে না।
কোনো একদিন ক্ষুধার্ত শিশুরা আর কুড়োবে না ডাস্টবিনে ফেলে দেওয়া নোংরা খাবার,
দিন মজুরেরা গুনবে না প্রতিটি সূর্যের আলো,
ভোর থেকে রাত অবধি একমুঠো অন্নের চিন্তায় জর্জরিত হয়ে।

কোনো একদিন দুনিয়া থেকে হারিয়ে যাবে বাস্তুহীন মানুষের করুণ চিৎকার,
সব মানুষের পূরণ হবে বেঁচে থাকার মৌলিক চাহিদা—
একটি ছাদ, একমুঠো ভাত, এবং একবিন্দু সম্মান।
