Simple truth


Simple truth

Give me some pebbles to throwPebbles are the pathway to life

The echo of its music stays

Long after the shadow of the tyrant

Fades away

Tell me;

Did you spend your life

Searching for happiness

Running after crumbs of food

Accumulating tons of rotting clothes

Desiring heaps of rusty cars

Building a house of rubble

Chasing a mirage?

Calm down

Sit for a moment


And listen to your heart-beat

Whispering :

Your tomorrow never comes

Your yesterday has long gone

Your life is nothing but this moment

You are no-where; but now-here


Don’t travel far

The dream of happiness you’re after

Is very near; inside


So, give me some pebbles to throw

Pebbles are the pathway to life

The echo of its music stays

Long after the shadow of the tyrant

Fades away

  1. Dear Nahida,

    “So, give me some pebbles to throw/Pebbles are the pathway to life” are the spirit of the Resistance Literature.
    You’re one of the pioneers of the resistance literature in English-Palestinian literature.
