Ayman Agbaria

Debate

— Our bodies are better. 
— Our bodies are more precious. 
— Our blood is finer. 
— Our blood is sweeter. 
— Our dead are martyrs, yours are murdered. 
— Your dead will become earth, ours will be higher. 
— I am the victim and you are the killer. 
— I will remain and you will vanish.
Like this, the generals speak
Like this, they debated:
Which is thicker?
The tear of a mother or the powder of a bullet?
