Each story has two sides
“…behind every teardrop
there hides
a sweet smile.”
Ode of an Orphaned Child
“…you will arrive
at the break of dawn.”
Don’t ask me
“…you will understand why
the waves wish to kiss the shore.”
For you, comrade
Because you are mistaken. I did not meet you only to forget you in the end. I will not embrace you only to leave you in the end.
Home by Warsan Shire
Every year, hundreds of thousands of Indigenous Peoples are displaced due to plunder and militarization of ancestral lands and territories. Their homes become battlefields, where every day is a fight for survival.
