The poem revolves around the central ideas of injustice, oppression, and the forced displacement suffered by the people of Palestine. It highlights the requirement for Palestinians to show identity cards for access and identification. The poet emphasizes that the true essence of Palestinian identity lies in their rich culture, family history, and connection to the land. These intangible aspects, integral to their identity, cannot be defined by the quantitative measures imposed by oppressive authorities through identity cards. The poem is a critique of the dehumanizing impact of such policies on the Palestinian people.
