Instructor’s Message:

Through the writing, Darwish forgot to die

And Kanafani’s blood flowed, forever running high.

Journalists saved their souls right through the grave.

For death took their lives, but not the words they gave.

In Gaza, a slaughtered consciousness remains.

If it does not write, it fades in silent pains;

For names are erased like dust upon the floor.

While pens are silenced, heard no more.

Yet, what if the living crossed the great divide?

From ledgers of death to where life’s pages abide?

What if through history and ink they could survive?

So let it be God’s will, by His holy decree, That in fields of steadfastness, writing sets them free.
