Ode to Khader Adnan by Sonja Karkar, Australia


Ode to Khader Adnan
Palestinian prisoner of conscience

In my mind I saw you
battered,
humiliated,
dragged to submission,
while your wife
stood silently by,
your children
clutching her gown,
tears staining their faces,
the violence etched painfully
in their frightened souls,
the days with you marked
by their shattered existence.

Khader Adnan, prisoner
of the criminal state, Israel.

I could do nothing
to change the parts,
the predetermined lines,  
the long enactment between
occupier and victim,
as plastic handcuffs
cut into your wrists,
the dirty blindfold
shielding you mercifully
from seeing the pain
of hopelessness
in your family’s eyes,
knowing your impotence
to change your fate
and theirs.
One cry of protest
futile, useless
in the endless dark days
of purgatory
between life and death.

Khader Adnan, prisoner
of the criminal state, Israel.

They dragged you away
In those funereal hours,
your bed still warm
from wishful sleep,
the nightmare scenes
crowding in
under white lights
and cacophonous sounds
rebounding on bare walls,
interrogations,
messing with the sanity
of innocence,
searing pain
maddeningly unrelieved
by sadistic keepers
whose twisted thoughts
of bizarre exceptionalism
blind them to the irony
of their own victimhood
in the sin of their existence.

Khader Adnan, prisoner
of the criminal state, Israel.

Days of hunger, days of thirst,
protesting your innocence,
demanding your people’s.
The shadow of hours
stealing the light,
your body and mind
drifting in and out
weakened, failing,
unable to move a State
sunk in the paralysis
of its own venom,
shocking those keeping vigil
around the world
waiting helplessly,
wondering how many hours
you can yet endure
before that bell finally
tolls for you.

Khader Adnan, prisoner
of the criminal state, Israel.

And we watch,
Useless witnesses
to the denigration
of civility,
human dignity,
justice and humanity.
Words long lost
in orchestrated cruelty
and cold deliberations,
for the preservation
of a lie.
Whether you live
or whether you die,
we must now tell the truth
of this shameful
wiping out of history -
one family, ten families,
villages and generations,
and your suffering -
a symbol
of your people’s right
to live in freedom
peace and honour,
your children’s right
to see a future
of promise and hope,
in the land of their birth,
an unbroken chain
of heritage, culture
and history
from time immemorial
in this now unholy
Israeli-occupied land.

Khader Adnan, prisoner
of the criminal state, Israel.

Silently you slip
from this world
while others are clamouring
in your wake.
We will not forget
the defiance of your act.
Sumud – steadfastness
the Palestinian will unbroken.
Symbol of thousands
imprisoned, killed and wounded
separated, exiled, denied,
despised and rejected.
For sixty and more years
refusing to yield,
despite dispossession
and wilful destruction
of cities and countryside
mosques and churches,
plundered, forbidden,
committed in crimes
no one dares to name,
apartheid,
ethnic cleansing,
genocide,
pretending
always pretending,
this pariah state
is a democracy,
a light on the hill,
with the most moral army
in the world.

Khader Adnan, prisoner
of the criminal state, Israel.

Your resistance
inspires our lesser selves,
while your courage
ignites our passions.
Your faith and trust
in what is right
now mobilises millions.
Your honour has strengthened
the weakest of us
and humbled the strongest,
and in your hour of need,
we will resist
in unity and solidarity
against the criminal state
of Israel,
for love of you
and all like you,
for the sake of humanity,
the weak and the oppressed,
and  finally,
finally the freedom
of Palestine.

Blessings upon you
wherever your courage
takes you now
Khader Adnan, prisoner
of the criminal state, Israel.


رسالة إلى خضر عدنان

ها هو مناضلنا الحر يدخل يومه الرابع والستين ، يكون بذلك قد أسقط كل أوراق التوت عن المتخاذلين ، يكون قد نزع كل أقنعة الزيف التي يتحلى بها القادة وأصحاب القرار ، خضر عدنان عراكم أصحاب البطون المنتفخة ،، جعلكم تظهرون بصوركم الحقيقية كالفئران ، خضر عدنان في يومه الرابع والستين شمسا ينير سماء الوطن ، وساما نضعه على صدورنا جميعا ، فرغم قيده هو حر ،، رغم إعيائه هو قوة نفخر بها ، انصروا مناضلنا الثوري أينما كنتم

from Paddy Grant
