Yasmine Al Massri Instagram – • Humanity as an Act of Reistance • A poem by David Holmes. Humanity As an Act of Resistance You killed their dreams but not their memories You slaughter children still in their Nurseries I stand before you I don’t have a pittance just my Humanity as an Act of Resistance You shelled the mosques claiming mothers and fathers You blew up the hospitals Killing Nurses & Doctors I stand before you with no more forgiveness just with my Humanity as an Act of Resistance You slaughtered our poets , journalists & artists , educators, library’s and publishing houses Your cowardice is bottomless While armed to the back teeth you raze cemeteries of numbers bloodied flour for a wreath You ploughed stolen land crushing bodies with tanks Nearly breaking our spirits arms funded by yanks You pulled out the heart while it was still beating as mothers rock parcels while they are still bleeding You took aim at aid & shot down human rights No bakeries No bread Starving babies now dead Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it Memories quite visibly shaping the present Oppression produces acute mental illness but up Rises Humanity as an Act of Resistance 🕊🇵🇸 Thank-you so much to @imeldaofficial for yr wisdom and guidance.
