Carice van Houten Instagram – Let this move you into action. ‘If I Must Die’ by Palestinian poet, writer, professor and activist Refaat Alareer. (23 September 1979 – 6 December 2023) Read by Brian Cox If I must die, you must live to tell my story to sell my things to buy a piece of cloth and some strings, (make it white with a long tail) so that a child, somewhere in Gaza while looking heaven in the eye awaiting his dad who left in a blaze — and bid no one farewell not even to his flesh not even to himself — sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above, and thinks for a moment an angel is there bringing back love. If I must die let it bring hope, let it be a story.
