#fuck your lecture on craft my people are dying

[lifeinpoetry]

Colonizers write about flowers. I tell you about children throwing rocks at Israeli tanks seconds before becoming daisies. I want to be like those poets who care about the moon. Palestinians don’t see the moon from jail cells and prisons. It’s so beautiful, the moon. They’re so beautiful, the flowers.

— Noor Hindi, from “Fuck Your Lecture on Craft, My People Are Dying,” DEAR GOD. DEAR BONES. DEAR YELLOW.

Fuck Your Lecture on Craft, My People Are Dying

By Noor Hindi

Colonizers write about flowers. I tell you about children throwing rocks at Israeli tanks seconds before becoming daisies. I want to be like those poets who care about the moon. Palestinians don’t see the moon from jail cells and prisons. It’s so beautiful, the moon. They’re so beautiful, the flowers. I pick flowers for my dead father when I’m sad. He watches Al Jazeera all day. I wish Jessica would stop texting me Happy Ramadan. I know I’m American because when I walk into a room something dies. Metaphors about death are for poets who think ghosts care about sound. When I die, I promise to haunt you forever. One day, I’ll write about the flowers like we own them.

#noor hindi #i donated money i made from drawing anime yaoi to MECA and she was offering to mail donors this poem last month! #fuck your lecture on craft my people are dying #i want to frame it with a print i really like... gotta keep my eye out for frames now!

Fuck Your Lecture on Craft, My People Are Dying

Colonizers write about flowers. I tell you about children throwing rocks at Israeli tanks seconds before becoming daisies. I want to be like those poets who care about the moon. Palestinians don't see the moon from jail cells and prisons. It's so beautiful, the moon. They're so beautiful, the flowers. I pick flowers for my dead father when I'm sad. He watches Al Jazeera all day. I wish Jessica would stop texting me Happy Ramadan. I know I'm American because when I walk into a room something 　dies. Metaphors about death are for poets who think ghosts care about 　sound. When I die, I promise to haunt you forever. One day, I'll write about the flowers like we own them.

Fuck Your Lecture on Craft, My People Are Dying

by Noor Hindi

Colonizers write about flowers.

I tell you about children throwing rocks at Israeli tanks, seconds before becoming daisies.

I want to be like those poets who care about the moon.

Palestinians don't see the moon from jail cells and prisons.

It's so beautiful, the moon.

They're so beautiful, the flowers.

I pick flowers for my dead father when I'm sad.

He watches Al Jazeera all day.

I wish Jessica would stop texting me Happy Ramadan.

I know I'm American because when I walk into a room something dies.

Metaphors about death are for poets who think ghosts care about sound.

When I die, I promise to haunt you forever.

One day, I'll write about the flowers like we own them.

noor hindi the poet that you are

#i keep thinking about the “good muslims are all around us” one and how they were actually taken from existing headlines #and the one for rouzan al-najjar #”a day a life : when a medic was killed in gaza was it an accident?” #and of course “fuck your lecture on craft my people are dying” #noor hindi #dear god dear bones dear yellow #free palestine #nadirants

[aguacerotropical]

as much as i like poetry, i am profoundly cynical about how marginalized groups use it to try and humanize themselves to audiences that could care less

#the ‘fuck your lecture on craft my people are dying’ poem encapsulates this neatly
