They will not eject you from history as long as you can still speak, they will not banish you to the past, as long as you can still listen. But which present do you inhabit? Haunt the dreams of your comrades, and the nightmares of your enemies; live in a future that never came — be a specter, a memory, and a herald. Remind them that the current state was not inevitable until it came to be. Do not occupy yourself with the question of why this very possible future failed, leave the victorious to grope for answers. Be the question, and do not heed your impotence. A ghost has no need for material presence or action, you merely need to shimmer.
Alaa Abd El Fattah
Published first time at Mada: Editor’s note: 25 days to #FreeAlaa is a campaign led by friends, family and supporters of political prisone
Poem for Alaa Abd el-Fattah
This weekend I read a poem which I wrote for English Pen’s Modern Literature Festival, as part of the Enemies Project, where over 30 contemporary UK-based writers presented new works in tribute to writers at risk around the world.
The writer I was asked to write about was Alaa Abd el-Fattah, who is imprisoned for five years for allegedly taking part in a peaceful protest in Egypt.
Here is a fragment of the poem that I wrote - which goes on for 661 words which, at the time of performing the piece, was the same number of days he had spent in prison.

Today, on Human Rights Day, we remind the world of our many friends who have broken the silence of oppression by expressing their thoughts, asking questions, and thinking critically and constructively about how to solve the problems before them.

علاء
من جواب قديم لعلاء
"
نبدأ من الأول: ازيكم، أنا علاء، جندي مشاه في الثورة، فيه اللي ضحى أكتر مني بكتير، و فيه اللي أشجع مني بكتير، و فيه اللي دوره أهم مني بكتير.
أنا علاء و فخور جدا أني بعمل اللي أقدر عليه و بفاجئ نفسي أحيانا بمدى اللي أقدر عليه. و عارف نفسي و عارف ايه اللي مقدرش عليه. و بحاول متأخرش أبدا و بحاول أتغلب على الخوف دائما و بحاول أكون في الصفوف الأمامية بانتظام.
لو شفتم فيا شجاعة أو شهامة أو جدعنة اعرفوا إنها مستمدة من أمي و أخواتي البنات الأصغر مني و مراتي (اللي فراقها أصعب حاجة في الحبس).
