Guilt Did Not Stay Underground (sometimes I Wish I Did)
Guilt did not stay underground (sometimes I wish I did)
Knock me down between the eyes,
Eyes of man that crust with gunpowder and long gone cigarette smoke,
Knock me down,
I deserve it,
Little brother o' mine
Let me earn it.
Knock on the door,
Over lily of valleys,
Hung over the frame
Of what once was two,
three against the world,
And you used to mean the world to me,
I don't think that's ever changed,
Second son o' mine, brother o' mine,
Let me go, I'd die a second time
Let me go,
I need to go.
You don't need to earn an apology from me,
Just that you are asking for an apology,
From a coward, that is me,
I need you to stay,
(I want you to go away)
Just like the old days,
(I've come back to my old ways)
With you by my side,
and I by yours,
'You need to let them heal without you'
So I will let you heal without me,
I'd die a second time to make everyone happy,
Except I'd die only in others eyes,
I'd be a wandering man, a breathing ghost,
A husk of flesh and bone
and once long ago flags and never-sung-again songs,
If I am the problem,
then I will remove myself from the equation,
Give you a quick solution,
I've returned to my roots,
my roots underground,
Brother o' mine, would you wish to come around?

We are the Abu Ras family, once living peacefully in the northern Gaza Strip. Like so many others, our lives were upended by the ongoing war. Our home was destroyed in the north, and we were forced to leave everything behind and embark on a harrowing journey of displacement through several cities in the southern Gaza Strip. Now, we live in tents in the heart of the region, struggling to survive and rebuild.
The war not only took our home but also our livelihoods. We lost our jobs and the means to provide for our family. But despite the hardships, we are determined to rise again and rebuild our lives. However, we cannot do it alone.
We are asking for your support to help us secure a safe home and rebuild a new future for our children. Every donation, no matter how small, will help us take a step toward that goal. Your generosity can bring hope and stability to a family that has lost so much.
Please consider donating to help the Abu Ras family survive this difficult time and rebuild our lives.
Thank you for your kindness and support.

my friends yousef and mona are trying to survive a very dangerous situation... it's hard to focus on fundraising when you are worried more about surviving bombings. they do still need funds. it is getting harder and harder to afford basic needs for both themselves and their baby alaa. i haven't heard any good news about mona's lungs (they were damaged in a previous bombing), so i assume they're as bad as ever. she's told me it's very painful. she can't rest because she spends her nights coughing violently instead. if you can help them at all, here is the link to their fundraiser. since they are fundraising in swedish krona, smaller donations are accepted. anything will help at least a little, but please be aware 10 kr is 94 cents in usd. if you can't donate, please share the post. you have a helpful role.

🆘/To Alaa and my family in Gaza
All thanks and gratitude for your humanitarian stances with us and your help in this critical and difficult time
15 months of displacement and famine have increased our suffering and difficulties incredibly.
I used all the words of sadness and sorrow to describe the situation we had reached, but these words were not enough.
We lost relatives and friends, my brother and father were injured, our house was destroyed, our car was burned, and everything was lost.
The scale of the suffering and tragedy is much greater than what you may have seen or witnessed on social media.
My dear friends
You can support my family either by donating or by sharing my campaign link with others so that the goal is reached as soon as possible.
Please help us we are very tired and no one is looking at us
I hope everyone will donate and share my story.
Our World Burns Eternal.
A silent plea, to all that will ever be, as I weep in longing, my long forgotten glee,
As the sun no longer shines, the moon never pulls the tides, as the tyrannical reality of whoever bastard comes to seek power in this abandoned city, does not fail to remind me, this would be the end.
Our world of small skylines, of this meek land, humble and of stone, comes a-crashing and a-crumbling, like sand falling through the cracks of home.
And as I hold your hand, dearly in my own, as I gaze over our small skyline, as the sun gives it's final triumph, as the city below us burns in ashes and sings in flames, engulfed in orange and covered in gray, a song I used to always sing comes to mind.
And I think...
...this isn't so bad.
You're here.
In our memory, our world burns eternally.

When gas disappears… we invent fire.
In Gaza, where war stole everything from us — even our gas cylinders — we refused to freeze or give up.
With nothing but scrap metal, old car oil, and computer fans, people here built handmade burners to cook, boil water, and survive.
We turned trash into life. We turned despair into invention. This is how we fight for existence every single day.
We don't just survive — we create.🔥🛠️💔
Reblog. Raise awareness. Let the world see our resilience.
As for me… I’m Kareman, a mother in Gaza.
I’m doing my best to protect and care for my son, Hammoud, in the middle of this war.
Thanks to a kind friend’s donation, I was able to bring a little light into my child’s life — food, warmth, and a smile.
The photo below is my son smiling next to the food we managed to buy.
That smile is a rare treasure in the middle of fear, displacement, and hunger.😭🫶❤️
If you’re reading this, please… don’t let this be the last smile I see on his face.🙏

Hello,
My name is Hanan, and I am reaching out from Gaza to seek your assistance for my brother Jihad. He is suffering from multiple chronic illnesses, including high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney failure, celiac disease, and osteoporosis, among various other complications. 🥺🥺 Unfortunately, he does not have access to direct support or adequate medical treatment. We kindly ask for your help in evacuating Jihad from Gaza so that he can receive the necessary medical care abroad. 🙏🙏

Very often I see Black Palestinians relegated to a hypothetical or used for rhetorical arguments. They are real human beings, a real community within our larger Palestinian community. They deserve respect, recognition, and assistance.
