The criminalisation of a Poet

the Polish-perpetrator
 and
the Palestinian-poet
in
the pretentious-Paris

The municipality of Paris
would like to dedicate one Public Garden
to David Ben Gurion,
and

one alley,  to Mahmoud Darwish .

This resembles to any monuments
that would be dedicated to:
Jack the Ripper and another one to his victims,
in the same city,
or
to Adolf Hitler and another one to Ann Frank ,
to emperor Nero and  another one to Rome.
to the Volcano Etna and another to Pompeii,

Why would Paris commemorate the memory
of a Polish thief , together with the memory
of a robbed-Palestinian- poet  ??.....his own victim.

Since when does a Parisian lord-mayor honour an Arab-poet ??
Since when does a Polish thief deserve any kind of honours ??
and since when do thieves and poets share ,
one and the same honouring-commitee ??

Did that poet become also a criminal ??
or the criminals are now supposed to be honoured ,
just like the poets !! ??

Ben Gurion wrote in his memoirs that :
" any Arab who ,one day, would forgive to the Israelis, would be a fool...."
.......unquote

Why should Mahmoud Darwish become a fool ??
why does the Mayor of Paris think that we are all fools ???

If the municipality of Paris were to be a bit more honest
they would dedicate ....to Mahmoud Darwish  only
who never did steal any country!!!
who never made widows nor any orphans !!!

The four mothers of Mahmoud Darwish




" Quand il est mort le poete "


If death were to be an end
Mahmoud's death , was not .

If there is life after death
so why did Mahmoud die ??

If poets do not die
so why did Mahmoud leave us ??


If Palestine never existed
then
what is this wound ??


If Palestinians do not exist
then who are all those stones-throwers
on Israeli-Tanks ??

Mahmoud Darwish
once wrote :
" I am ashamed to die and so not to cause my mother's tears"


I saw his mother on the TV ,
crying with tears in her eyes.


Mahmoud has had four mothers :
his mother , my mother ,
Palestine and the wounded-humanity.
