Whispers Page #4

Wheat was planted but apricots is better

But now we planted apricot

we cannot plant apple trees

because We do not have good pesticides

We went to the Syrian land

and we looked for apricots

but it did not work

So we took from Nabi Othman, Al Ain, Jdeide

and Bekaa

It worked better we planted our lands and it

began to reap

Regarding water

in the village

We go to the Assi river

Each man with his wife, he carries a pot and

so does she

Then they use donkeys to take it to the village

We are like camels, we hold water on our

backs

while we are thirsty

This land is a barren desert

Government says that it is going to fix the

water problem

But it didn't

We left our land and went to work in Beirut

Now we left beirut and return to our villages

We started to work and produce depending on

ourselves

We plant corn and barely,

tomatoes and many kinds of vegetables

Thank God ifs going well

But we are suffering from the water issue

The effects of war

Thank God

we are not sectarian we are Lebanese

Our heritage is Lebanese and it is true that we

are Arabs

Our language is Arabic, we are of Arabian

origin

Frankly I will not love my aunt as much as I

love my mother

We were born in this country Lebanon

Lebanon is for everyone not for certain people

Not for Christians nor for Muslims

We have the Lebanese identities that we kept

it

But we are not a part of any project

Our children got homeless, others died

For unnecessary wars, it was their destiny

Some were killed and they were not even

concerned in the war

shooting became a joy to treat people like

birds

As if they did not exist

What if one or two are killed?

Those who kill have no more pity

Neither Jesus nor Mouhammad asked to kill

Neither the Koran nor the Bible, we believe in

both

How much? This is an addition

All for the country,

for the glory, for the flag

From the beginning of centuries, our pencil

and sword

All for the country

for the glory, for the flag

From the beginning of centuries, our pencil

and sword

Oh my teacher

The wolf came

He came to eat us

What shall we do?

Oh my children

Oh my beautiful children

Stay where you are

Listen to me

Oh my teacher

The wolf came

That you talked about

He eats meat

My children

don't get afraid

He only eats the afraid children

Are you afraid?

Oh my teacher

We are small

We don't know how to defend our homes

Oh my children

Watch how

I carry the rifle and how I fill it up

Where is the wolf

Oh my teacher

Oh my children

Where is the wolf?

Where you are oh wolf?

5 years of crisis but the hotel never closed

We stayed here despite all the problems

Specially working problems
