Poem: Rabee Shrair*

Worthy of love
On the day oranges bloom
Worthy of love
On the day Oranges wither
Worthy of love
On the day oranges are picked
Worthy of love
On the day oranges are eaten
Worthy of love
On the day oranges are planted
On the day oranges are killed
There is a crying girl
In the dry corner of the field
Her tears are oranges
