“Sumud means steadfastness The Soul of the Palestinian People I will carve all my secrets On an olive tree… I shall carve my story and the chapters of my tragedy I shall carve my sighs On my grove and the tombs of my dead; The location of my village and its boundaries The demolished houses of its peoples, My uprooted trees, And to remember it all, I shall continue to carve All the chapters of my tragedy, And all the stages of the disaster, From the beginning To end, On the olive tree In the courtyard Of my house.
