I Am

i am a palestinian ... i am 25 years old ... and i've never been to palestine before ...

my village was called al-Mansi ...

to me palestine is just a romantic notion ... a dream ... an intangible ...

i belong to what they call the diaspora ... that's greek for "a scattering or sowing of seeds" ...

in arabic they call it al-shatat ...

we will return ...

Even in the fisherman's net,

Still carries
