I Come From There Comments

Nice poet

Inhuman it is when a person is robbed from his own ground, his own property, his own land and that of his parents and grandparents. We must honour and appreciate other property. God is witness, man must fear God. This is a very touching poem. It has become IMMORTAL NOW. This poem has deepest impact on the readers. Immortal poem.

A poem well woven. I enjoyed reading through and through. Thank you Chinedu.

The quest, struggle and longing for a homeland comes alive in this poem. It proves that the word is more powerful than the sword. Thank you, Mahmoud Darwish.

I learnt all the words worthy of the court of blood So that I could break the rule. I learnt all the words and broke them up To make a single word: Homeland..... Fantastic creation...

I have memories! ! ! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

HOMELAND From there I'm to there I'm all through natural chain nerves and veins are craving a procession road to road for coming back.....//// great Mahmoud Darwish is and written always greatly, love him very much

A wonderful poem by Mahmoud Darwish....👍👍

'I walked this land before the swords' A poem of passion with political overtones.

One of the best poem i have read in recent times. Such a soul stirring drop. Thanks for sharing.

Mine is the wave, snatched by sea-gulls, I have my own view, And an extra blade of grass. Mine is the moon at the far edge of the words, this is real poetry, use of words, the feelings it conveys and the philosophy..... u teach are marvellous..dear poet. tony

...........a wonderful poem...there is no place like a person's home ★

Born as mortals are, I have a mother And a house with many windows, I have brothers, friends, And a prison cell with a cold window. A soulful expression

to make a single word: HOMELAND

to make a single word: HOMELAND
