BETHLEHEM, WEST BANK - DECEMBER 05: A Palestinian labourer works under a large wall painting by elusive British graffiti artist Banksy December 5, 2007 on a building wall in the biblical city of Bethlehem in the West Bank. The Bristol-born artist has adorned Israel’s West Bank separation barrier and Bethlehem walls with new images, including one of a dove wearing a flak jacket and a soldier being frisked by a young girl. His works, along with those of other international artists, are part of an exhibition called Santa’s Ghetto. (Photo by David Silverman/Getty Images)

ਮੈਂ ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਕਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ ਹਾਂ । ਪਿਆਰ ਕਰਨਾ ਬੜਾ ਹੀ ਸਹਿਜ ਹੈ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਕਿ ਜ਼ੁਲਮ ਨੂੰ ਸਹਾਰਦੇ ਹੋਇਆਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਲੜਾਈ ਲਈ ਤਿਆਰ ਕਰਨਾ, ਜਾਂ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਗੁਪਤਵਾਸ ਵਿਚ ਵੱਜੀ ਹੋਈ ਗੋਲੀ ਤੋਂ ਕਿਸੇ ਛੰਨ ਅੰਦਰ ਪਏ ਰਹਿ ਕੇ ਜ਼ਖਮ ਦੇ ਭਰਨ ਵਾਲੇ ਦਿਨ ਦੀ ਕੋਈ ਕਲਪਣਾ ਕਰੇ ਪਿਆਰ ਕਰਨਾ ਤੇ ਲੜ ਸਕਣਾ ਜੀਣ ਤੇ ਈਮਾਨ ਲੈ ਆਉਣਾ ਮੇਰੀ ਦੋਸਤ, ਇਹੋ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ ।

… I express thanks. Love is as natural as preparing oneself for struggle while bearing the brunt of cruelty, or as an underground comrade in a hideout imagine the day, gun wound will heal love and struggle is living the life at best, my friend.

- It is part of a long poem written by Paash
