When the War Ends
When the war ends
There will be a time to sing
To sit alone
To check on my remaining friends
To celebrate the air
To collect pictures of my dead friends
When these damned wars end
I will have time to cry
And waiting for you to leave.
—(Moheeb Barghouti is a Palestinian poet based in Ramallah)
