Free Minds for a Free Palestine

Falastin quote

I hope I could have more time to write love poems only, because I feel it, and I want it, and I need it. But you can't be concentrated in love poems when your life is threatened. You have, first of all, to defend your life, your existence.
Samih Al-Qasim, Palestinian poet
