Aya Mar 19
I woke up feeling like nothing…
No one’s saying nothing...
No one’s doing nothing….
I  woke up wishing something was done, to stop this
heartache…
I woke up wishing something was done, to stop this
suffering…
I woke up wishing there were no more decapitated heads…
no more…lifeless bodies…
Make it stop… make it stop…
Nobody is doing nothing to make it stop….
I woke up wishing there were no more incinerated bodies..
I woke up wishing there were no more corpse …
I woke up wishing that the genocide in Gaza was no more…
It’s now more than 16 months of carnage…echo of death pierce my soul...
No one can undo what I’ve seen…
I feel like nothing….
They say nothing and do nothing, to make it stop…
This suffering lingers…
I feel like nothing….

****** suhoor ends cease fire in Gaza.
Last night when people and children gathered to eat during Suhoor.
Suddenly there was terror bombardment by Israeli planes repeatedly.
All the people and children died.
Their bodies were burnt and shattered into pieces.
Hell that was once cold is now hot again.

Life in Gaza has just begun slowly.
Amidst hardship , limitations and uncertainty.
Ramadan that feels sad.
The great chaos is repeated again.
This chaos is not over yet.
It is not over yet.

There is no ceasefire, not in Gaza, not in Lebanon, not in Sudan,
but only genocide...
aggression...
war...
blood...
slaughter, and pain.
The West Bank continues to be under siege... met by tanks, death,
threats...  
Families are met with bullets to their head.
The children are met with amputated limbs.
Children are left orphan... and forgotten.
Communities are met with too many martyrs to grieve...
Where is this ceasefire now?
There is bombardment in Yemen too, directed by the West like a true imperialist.
If one dare to rise up and resist, are met with an iron fist by the international colonizer community, given consent to **** with no impunity...
Dare the amputees speak....
Dare the bullet to the head speak...
Dare the orphan speak....
Dare the resistance speak of their own pain...
There is no ceasefire, but only genocide.  
Where is this so-called ceasefire now?
Nowhere in sight....
Where is the anti-war movement?
Nowhere in sight.....
What happened to the anti-war movement?
Nowhere in sight….

During ramadan in Gaza.
Children always gather after iftar until suhoor.
They always play with fireworks that spin round and round.
The glow of light scatters in all directions.
It really looks bright in the middle of the dark night.
At least they can still feel joy and happiness.
In the middle of situation that is still full of difficulties and overshadowed by threats.

Dear Chef Michelle Santoso.
The Maqluba you made looked delicious.
It was the first maqluba you made.
With a high spirit to support Palestine through culinary arts.
Yes , Palestinian culinary is very rich and has a long history.
You should learn many of Palestinian cuisine recipes.
Make hummush , shawarma , falafel , qidra , mansaf , zibdiyit , summakiya and others.
Palestinians will be proud of you.
Coz you have a high spirit like them.
To preserve Palestinian cuisine that is claimed by Israelis.

How can this be?
Too deep to understand, too deep to digest.
How can this be?
How can you turn away, and act as if you were blind to babies being burned, and buried in the rubble, decimated lifeless tinted souls on your vision screen.
There aren’t enough adjectives to describe the horrific images.
How can this be?
The screams of death in realtime stays with me.  
For I will never forget.... you too should never forget.  
The screams of death echo and rains on me like the blues.
What a tragedy.  
Too deep to understand, too deep to digest.  
How can this be?

Celebrating Ramadan amidst the concrete rubble

String lights illuminate hungry faces

To be surrounded by oppression and violence yet sit together at a table to share a feast

That is true resilience.

Love radiates from the dishes, food scarce so they share

No matter the evil, the deathly threats,

They stand together united, all as one,
Their connection un-severed.
Material things, they have none.

To have such joy in dark times
Is to resist the occupation, to be freed
Body, Soul, Spirit, Mind.
My thoughts after seeing the images of those in Gaza breaking their fast.

A month after the cease fire situation in Gaza is still in limbo.
Stabilization is hampered by many problems.
Overshadowed by threats and uncertainty.
But life has just started again.
One of the people who started life is a pizza man.
Every day he goes around the entire Gaza strip.
Driving his van which is equipped with a kitchen in the back.
Usually he makes various pizzas in that kitchen.
Mozzarella pizza , pepperoni pizza , beef cheese pizza , tuna pizza and others.
The price of ingredients has dropped to cheap because stock on the market has returned to normal.
So he can buy the ingredients needed with the donation money he got.
He always makes pizza with love , sincerity , skill , dedication and determination.
Every day his face always smiles when he makes lots of pizza.
Then he always shares all the pizza he makes with the kids.
They all love to eat delicious free pizza.
The joy they feel when eating pizza has become the beginning of life in Gaza.

A promise made, a vow—unbelievably grand
Until tanks and footsteps disturb the land
Handshakes firm, papers signed
Yet missiles and bullets still lag behind

Peace is non-transferable, war is our own,
Limited liability for the lives that we've blown
For threat prevention, we may reinforce,
Bombs will drop without a hint of remorse

When the world begins to ask
We say we honored it, our assured task
A truce! A pause! A peaceful day!
We’ll bomb them all by the end of May

We reserve the right to reverse the ceasefire
As bodies fall to the chorus of our choir
Diplomacy’s a practiced art—
Where ceasefires end before they start
satirical poem on the genocide in Palestine
