.....A Palestine To Return To Palestine does not need more anger
that cup already runneth over...
I'd rather hold a chalice of clear
clean water
fresh hope
for a future
for a totally real true Palestine
A fully free Palestine for Palestinians
and guests....
A Palestine to be proud of...
a Palestine of old world charm
with modern freedom & infrastructures
A Palestine of gardens and orchards
and jobs
A Palestine of bird watching
and green technology
to preserve the pastoral history
and the ancient buildings and paths...
alleyways... markets... ambiance...
to be the perfect equilibrium between
what was- is- and will be
to be Palestine alive
and doing well.
A Palestine to return to
remembering
and wanting the best
for all offspring
Diligently defining
a heritage
to bequeath
to coming generations...
A Palestine to treasure
in everyday ways...
with all the real comforts
of a real home
for real people
good, bad and indifferent...
not a rally cry- but a real place
Palestine with a passport
and a stamp.

Such a beautiful poem :)
Well done, something uplifting and opening positive thoughts.
Maybe you are interested in writing about Palestinian refugees also voting, at the same time as the West Bank and Gaza, on the same day? Hearing their voice?
Unity Elections:

Or you know people who could be interested?
Best wishes,
