Cease and desist

Hello, I’m Ahmed
a Palestinian
from Yebna,
Palestine...

Stop!
Cease and desist
Palestine?
No such a thing
Palestinians?
They don’t exist
So stop claiming to be one?
cease and desist

... my mother's father inherited acres from his father and grew olive trees in his lot of land

My father’s father tilled his and sold sumptuous fruits and veggies from their farm stand

Generations upon generations of Palestinian dirt
on Palestinian hands

Cease....and.....desist
You do not exist

You still insist?
I bomb your homes..

You dare resist?
I raze your towns..

You still persist?
I...
Don’t you understand my power?
Why won’t you cower?

Despite my might,
you put up a fight?
CEASE AND DESIST!
YOU DO NOT EXIST!
