In Gaza, we are always waiting—for electricity, for fuel, for permission, for reconstruction, for relief. Occupation stretches time until it becomes a punishment. This is why speed matters.
I traveled from UpScrolled to like and restack this powerful piece. Pure poetic prose in motion.
Like the children watching the riders, I also feel release, watching in my mind’s eye as the sands of time “spray into the air like fireworks”. Makes my heart sing. ❤️🎶
I will read this again and again. Thanks for writing it.
And I will pressure the occupation to allow fuel, spare parts and reconstruction, so Gaza’s youth can fly again.
I am truly touched by your comment. Knowing that this piece made your heart sing is the greatest compliment a writer can receive. Thank you for your support, both for my words and for the people of Gaza. It means everything.
their thrill that thrill of pure freedom, Oh Ali Skaik, your writing reaches out and touches that light within all of us. PALESTINE IS FREE MAY PALESTINE'S FREEDOM BE RECOGNIZED!!!
