Dear Beirut , Dear lebanon
i dont know what is it i can say to make u feel better ... if thats possible ...
but i do know what 2 say 2 make u feel worse , 2 make u cry ur heart out
"Welcome to our club" .. the club of endless rising numbers of dying children , the club who got no one to blame, worse the club who has no one to turn to. wlcome to the club of the victim yet attacked.
welcome to the land of orphans and homelesses, welcome to the land of refugess ... welcome to the celebration for another "Shaheed".
in this club we celebrate the death of ourselves , sons and daughters cuz they died in da name of our fight for freedom, for the land, we celebrate the death of the enemy family cuz we think were equal at least in death.
in this club all u need 2 b is arab , some might say muslim, dont fall for that, its so often in our club to b fooled, oh dear its enough that ur arab.
in this club ur friends r more than welcome, they can b arrested if they wanna help,or even think the same.
eating and drinking is not an everyday activity over here, well it actually depends on the mood of the big boss. so dont bother for asking or seeking for it. try to ignore pain of any kind, cuz nobody cares.
Welcome to the club of lonliness, when u mostly need ur friends and family, they will care if they r already a member in da same club, if not dear were sorry to tell u they r on the other club, that club over there with the green gardens, and the pools? yeah thats the one, the same club who started this one !!!!
welcome to no schools, no education! welcome to no tress no pets! welcome to no freedom!!! welcome 2 mornings that starts with glasses of blood and end in it as well. they say it taste just like wine, no sorry u cant compare!!
and welcome to new era of music, art and media, now its all about what we used to be, its all about what we will never become! from now on its only dreams, wishes in unhappy birthdays parties. its children now cursing who they r , children hating thier parents for who they r , looking at the other club wanting 2 b in it, some of them actually succed in getting there , da rest? oh may they rest in peace.
Dear lebanon, raise up ur head, dont just die there, see its not fair u giving up so fast, wev been doing that for da lst 6 decades. u better keep up the spirit. dont run away , like we did, our cousins still keep thier key, for a house buried under malls and country clubs, spare ur time and hopes!!!
oh my dear women of lebanon, dear girls, dear females, dear moms, sisters, wives and daughters .... hang in there, cuz them men? oh they will not fight long enough, only few of them will make it, but u!!! u mother earth, ur the land, ur the roots , its ur job, like any other in that house, in that family, its u girl u gotta keep it moving, surviving!!!
dear beirut, ur roomate now is jerusalem!!
may u have the best time together and may u both b free again one day, some day, please god damn it any day!!!
with all my love
PALESTINE.
