The poem explores the themes of injustice, oppression and forceful displacement incurred by the people of Palestine. The poet talks about the citizens of Palestine who are asked to present their Identity cards in order to be allowed access anywhere. The poem talks about how the essence of the Palestinian Arabs lies in their rich culture, family background, ancestors and is inherently connected to the landscape itself. These abstract concepts that make up his identity and the identity of his fellow brothers and sisters can not be defined by quantitative means such as the identity cards issued by the oppressive authorities and government.
