Lebanon | August 1

TRIBUTE TO LEBANON
 
Time moves on…
Everything else stands still…
Lebanon, Life, and Luxury
Is swathed in evil
 
The brightly colored lights of a Lebanese night,
Are now replaced by darkness in shelters alight,
And the euphoric beat in fancy clubs aglow,
Is substituted with the heartbeat of a refugee in sorrow,
And the delicacy of bouchées in restaurants,
Are swapped with meager food portions for citizens,
And the sandcastles my cousin built by the beach
is now a pile of rubble on once-existing streets,
And the ticking of the clock as I wait to go out
is now the ticking of a bomb, a ruthless clout
But the dreams we built for Lebanon's sake
are still standing there, they're never at stake…
 
Time moves on…
Everything else stands still…
But we surprisingly always defy
As we survive against their will

El horror de la guerra
a los grandes mandatarios
a la gente con poder que piense en los niños en el
dolor y en el miedo que ellos estan sintiendo en nuestros hermanos que estan enfermos o han perdido sus familiares...detengan la guerra......

Al resto nos queda orar para
que Dios haga que esto termine.....
Paz en el mundo...paz para el libano...
