Action and Solidarity Toolkit
“Our back is turned, but we still look to the future.
we still hope to bloom and will bloom, even if it is to
rage
to revolution
human beings like flowers
les fleurs
delicare
Indigenous seeds buried beneath the rubble
in mines precious like stones
scattered away
scattered
away”
- Kiing Curry
“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 tale”
- Refaat Alareer
