To leave
January 28, 2007
I do
I really want to.
I understand.
But you are right,
I would never be able to leave.
If I leave
It would only be to come back.
And give this country a piece of my damned mind
Fix things up.
I want to be Basil Fuleihan.
I wish there were more Fuleihans in this country.
I know.
It’s such a tragedy, wallah.
What an embarrassment.
Yes,
That’s exactly it.
My God.
When I’d tell people what’s going on at home
They look at me…
It is such an embarrassment.
Confused.
They don’t understand.
How can you explain it?
Like what is wrong with you people?
You can’t.
That’s the tragedy
Akh akh akh
Khallas
Baliha
La a’ayounik Lubnan
Let not all these deaths be in vain.
Take a deep breath.
Stand up.
Straight.
Proud and tall.
Head up.
And march forward
To
Wherever.
Does it really matter?
