"lebanon" poems
As beautiful as the famed city of Atlantis Gloriously flourishing in her perfection There is a place where my soul and heart is A perfect place without grief or deception Where my heart is always merry And peace blossoms like the cherry The sun smiles at me gently caressing My body as the birds sing melodies- So beautiful they keep me guessing- The beauty of future melodic memories Like the Cedars of Lebanon Beautifying the palaces of Ethiopia Purity, love and perfection adorn her every season. This place is within me; this place is Utopia

UTOPIA
Behold Nigeria my motherland A land that sits upon the hills of many waters A country built on the ancient landmark of heroes band An Eagle that protects her citizens in the arms of her feathers. A beautiful Nigeria whose fields are as green as green could ever be An Iroko that stands on the root of peace and unity A fertile land that is as fertile as fertility can ever be A united people, a proud nation void of segregation nor discrimination in her city. My motherland a land that upholds the staff of dignity and natural endowment A land of unity and peace glowing like a river of gold across the horizon A nation that feeds on the diet of heavens supplement An ocean that runs through the test of raging storms un-torn. My motherland! My motherland! A Nigeria that adores her women more highly than the Queen of England An Olive that yields more than the cedars of Lebanon A land whose daughters are as beautiful as the daughters of Job in Jerusalem's land An independent country as powerful as the King Nebuchadnezar of Babylon. It's Nigeria my motherland A land that rests on the pillars of her freedom A country seated on the pearls and treasures of many Ireland A Nigeria that lives on the soil of heavens wisdom.

My Motherland
I Walk through the lonely ancient woods And hear the voices from the Cedars of Lebanon Whispering a truth known to all But remembered by few A felled branch reveals the wound That smells of comfort and wisdom Your knots are like the eyes of God Scrutinizing my every intentions I feel at ease as I rest in your strong arms And think -- If I had a choice for a final resting place It would be under your majestic feet

The Story by Kamal Nasser translation by Michael R. Burch I will tell you a story ... a story that lived in the dreams of my people, a story that comes from the world of tents. It is a story inspired by hunger and embellished by dark nights of terror. It is the story of my country, a handful of refugees. Every twenty of them have a pound of flour between them and a few promises of relief ... gifts and parcels. It is the story of the suffering ones who stood waiting in line ten years, in hunger, in tears and agony, in hardship and yearning. It is a story of a people who were misled, who were thrown into the mazes of the years. And yet they stood defiant, disrobed yet united as they trudged from the light to their tents: the revolution of return into the world of darkness. Kamal Nasser was a much-admired Palestinian poet and Palestinian Christian, who due to his renowned integrity was known as "The Conscience." He was a member of Jordan's parliament in 1956. He was murdered in 1973 by an Israeli death squad whose most notorious member was future Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Barak (born Ehud Brog) later ruled as Israel’s tenth Prime Minister from 1999 to 2001. His adopted Hebrew name Barak means "lightning." As a younger man, Brog/Barak was a member of a secret assassination unit that liquidated Palestinians in Lebanon and the occupied territories. In the 1973 covert mission Operation Spring of Youth in Beirut, which was part of the larger Operation Wrath of God, he disguised himself as a woman in order to assassinate Palestinians. The raid resulted in the deaths of two women, one of them an elderly Italian. Two Lebanese policemen were also killed, along with the poet Kamal Nasser. Nasser was the PLO's most prominent Christian and he enjoyed "great appeal" in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq "both as a distinguished poet and likeable personality." He was the “conscience of the Palestinian revolution,” according to Nazih Abul-Nidal, who worked with him on the magazine Filastin al-Thawra. Nasser “had the most democratic outlook of all Palestinian leaders at the time,” he recalls. He respected opposing views, admired the commitment of young people, and was a major recruitment asset for the Palestinian revolution. “That is why he was put high on the hit-list.” The previous year, the Israelis had murdered another renowned Palestinian writer and activist in Beirut, Ghassan Kanafani, by booby-trapping his car. Nasser’s successor, Majed Abu Sharar, was also assassinated by Israelis, in Rome in 1981 while attending a conference in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Paris The city of light Having its darkest night Since World War Two. Lebanon Double the body bags, Yet no media hags Turn their heads. Normal For there they say But for Paris nay And so we pay attention. Kenya Syria Iraq Libia A suicide bomb Over here, Two hundred dead, we overhear Wrapped into our daily news. We pay it Almost no heed As the blood drips down to feed The list of the dead. We say It is because we have grown Accustomed, yet we have flown Over the Coocoo's best to believe this. The truth is, Both for here And there, A white life is worth far more. It is worth 10 Black American lives, 16 Hispanic or Asian lives, 27 Arab lives, 35 African lives, These numbers Straight from CNN And the New York Times. Do we not bleed the same blood? Have we forgotten what it is to smile Such that we cannot see ours are all the same? What has happened to this world, Once so gold and bright, Now a darkened, saddened grey As it weeps it's tears Upon the red river That runs through the valley of fears.

Lebanon
Humans tend to destroy everything that is pure and heavenly. I reside in Lebanon, a paradise. But since people abhor each other religously, the city has fallen and it cannot rise. So I watch them **** each other's lives rapidly, and I smile to myself because it's like watching mice. Mice trying to steal a rotten piece of cheese, but little do they know, that it's a trap, made by the old big black cat! Once the mice reach the cheese, the cat will devour them. "Such a sad story." I say aloud. And god answers, "A sad story indeed."

Lebanon: The Tragedy of The Mice.
My name is Jonathan. I'm 9 years old. I'll tell you a story that's never been told. I lived in Lebanon, and so did you. Till the year 14 and a thousand times 2. We lived aside, your building next to ours. We were happy, what a bliss! But there are thorns on all the flowers. --------------------------------------- I knew not what happened next, but I felt heat strike my face. Who would believe that the curse we're living, was once upon a time a grace? The explosion happened too fast, but I had time to take a last breath. And when you took yours too, we crawled our way to death. So we left dear life, which wasn't always so dear. But even in heaven, the cries of children, I could hear. And I met you, my dear friend Hussien. But know that Muslims and Christians are both being slain. Just wait till they realize their killers care not for religion or for race, for all was to get shot. They're both targets, and enemies all in one. And our country has become a battle that'll remain unwon. Maybe one day they'll wake up and learn that religion does not give only them the rights to live and the others the rights to rot. Maybe one day they'll learn that we are all but one. So why not hold each other's hands and to the new day welcome the sun? My name is Jonathan. I'm 9 years old. The terrorist, government, and citizens; the responsibility the do hold. They ruined what used to be our heaven and we would no simply obey, even though most of us in this heaven are here to stay. My name is Jonathan. I'm 9 years old. And I **** on people whose country they sold.

You can spend years, tears, and fights in unmatched white sheets of your dreams. Or rattle in an train to Istanbul, under their arm. His curls smell like sweat and he tastes like sweet, touched with hair and a scruff of a beard. He mingles Arabic, English, and French and you feel obsolete. But do not fall in love with a boy from Lebanon because sooner or later he will me gone.

do not fall in love with a boy from Lebanon
And here face down beneath the sun And here upon earth’s noonward height To feel the always coming on The always rising of the night To feel creep up the curving east The earthy chill of dusk and slow Upon those under lands the vast And ever climbing shadow grow And strange at Ecbatan the trees Take leaf by leaf the evening strange The flooding dark about their knees The mountains over Persia change And now at Kermanshah the gate Dark empty and the withered grass And through the twilight now the late Few travelers in the westward pass And Baghdad darken and the bridge Across the silent river gone And through Arabia the edge Of evening widen and steal on And deepen on Palmyra’s street The wheel rut in the ruined stone And Lebanon fade out and Crete High through the clouds and overblown And over Sicily the air Still flashing with the landward gulls And loom and slowly disappear The sails above the shadowy hulls And Spain go under the the shore Of Africa the gilded sand And evening vanish and no more The low pale light across that land Nor now the long light on the sea And here face downward in the sun To feel how swift how secretly The shadow of the night comes on…

i'm from a small, yellow bedroom yellow flowers, yellow layette and yellow jaundiced skin   i'm from the taste of the tea mother makes me when i'm sick and from the sound of her singing about how she looked and looked for the light like the roots and the leaves floating in the boiling water her voice a soothing sound like bubbles in simmering tea i'm from words written on a page- the feeling of an old book and the smell of a new one and i'm from hiding beneath the covers falling in love with black letters printed on white paper i'm from lots of illustrations and then none at all when my mind became colorful enough to fill all the pages i'm from "the game is afoot" and "after all this time?" i'm from all over the world pieces of my heart, a jigsaw puzzle like my family scattered all over the globe i'm from canada, from the US, from france from lebanon from italy i'm from a country nobody wants but a country that desperately wants us back i'm from messy hair, oversized sweaters half-finished sketchbooks filled with promises and ******* poetry lines i'm from the echo of my own voice against the splatter of the shower i'm from reading in the flashes of street lamp lights i'm from pursuing science and desiring art drawing on the airplane's foggy windows and wondering how it flies with a clear head and with clouded eyes.

Be still my soul, be still Dont worry about the open tomb There is a reason, why is this happening Trust Him, instead of doubting He has drawn the portrait In a perfect beauty and form Learn to adapt this moment Look at whats ahead of this Its a guarantee to find answer that is unknown Reflect, ponder each of this Open this eyes like a first time Like a new born baby Be excited to the future Evaluate this heart O God Echo again the words in my ears It is finished, it is finished The curtain was cut into two O through Your blood I am victorious Nothing in this world can separate This life was meant for You Burn me with fire from heaven Strengthen this redeem man I need You this all day long

To Plant A Cedars Of Lebanon
My land has been ripped. Its seeds trapped beneath cinders of ash and rock. Its root suffocating. Its branches no longer branches, and its buds weeping somewhere along the edge of heaven looking down upon bent cities mourning those whose flesh are screaming to kiss the innocent skin-like fingernails of newborn children who have been burned to death. And the children! Oh! The children! They are sealed within the winds that dance along Lebanons green motherly lands as the embers and crumbs whistle an eerie tune through the emptiness of the streets; My heart is burning with the souls that have died a thousand different ways. Somewhere over the mounds of Lebanon, souls that once breathed her air full of joyous pride, clutch to the sadness and adorn her in prayer. I believe with all that I believe that somewhere deep within the forests of her beauty, Lebanon is smiling awaiting rejuvenation, awaiting a nation dancing in illumination One day we will open our dead eyes and find that the capital of heaven is Beirut.

I was told to write down my identity a neat sheet of paper that would briefly explain me I pondered a while attempting to identify a few key moments of my history Do I tell of the immigrant? or the miracle child? do I speak of depression and how I so rarely smiled? Should I tell you about the language I so rarely spoke for fear of fitting a stereotype: the terrorist trope. Shall I explain hypomania? and how I couldn't sleep? and how the monsters I dreamt of into my conscious peripheral would creep? How I couldn't seek help until I was almost twenty-one because in my parents' culture mental illness doesn't exist. My parents were Palestenian refugees in Lebanon- but that's their story not mine, right? They were married for seventeen years before they had me. They tried to have children almost from day one- but that's their story not mine, right? Finally they immigrated to Canada for a million procedures that would give them a baby. After six years of treatment, a random obscure procedure worked and I was a bun in the oven- but that's their story not mine, right? nine months later I was born. I was a miracle baby and the "light of their life." so they named me light: "Noor." I was born at North York General with a priviledge my parents never dared dream: Canadian. Safe. Not a refugee. They had someplace that they'd send me for university. With our new, safe nationality at forty days old I was taken to the UAE I was raised on Western books and Western TV raised with ideas that just didn't fit in a muslim family (at least my family is liberal, unlike the UAE) I haven't scratched the surface of who I am and depending on the pieces I tell I haven't scratched the surface of all that I could be what I choose to write is how you will read me.

Who is it that comes from Edom, coming from Bozrah, his garments stained in crimson?  Who is this, in glorious apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength?  "It is I , who announce that right has won the day, it is I," says the Lord, "for I am mighty to save." -Isaiah, 63:1. Look to Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, all the world around you, and I. Time to get off your *** and do some saving. No disrespect intended, Lord. r

Time to Save My ***
Deception feeds on ignorance in every lane, Missiles are wrong symphonies in Ukraine. The world won't rise with the cries of a thousand, Corruption sneaks into the bones in Thailand. Humans and bodies are wars' cheapest lance, The riots take back stolen rights in France. Starvation is stronger than the dignity of men, Begging for food is integrity, in Yemen. Moms paid, with their children, the fees. Souls taken, are countless in greece. There, living in an empty land is the plan, Women, children and men, murdered, for power, in Sudan. "Spending eternity in peace, is a ban", Told the people, between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Depravity spreading in man like Ameba, A losing game of change played in Cuba. Billions of harassment cases, you bet, Are, will be reserved in god's eyes in Egypt. Buried her father, brother and, desire of existence, dear Haya, She, and millions another, in fenced Libya. In the name of religion, crimes covered, disgracefully, Chastity thrown, in land of churches, the Vatican City. Shattered wood under a phloem, Are the confused inhabitants of oriental Jerusalem. Too many sects, invading the minds, anon, Conflicts will split the one entity of Lebanon. Washing souls with lies of worship, is a key Says the elected president of Turkey. To be served, pure blood awaits in the line. It rains glory and sacrifice upon Palestine. To regain true reality, they had to wham, Under snow, through fog, numbed rain, in Vietnam. Lost a thousands of years worth of legacy, Guns are the rulers in Damascus city.

Before identities and allegiances are even confirmed, The cries of anger rise up like a thick, black smoke, Heavy and suffocating, it flows through streets, Over the English Channel, across oceans, Seeping into social media and blanketing all else. Cries for vengeance, Vengeance, Vengeance. And those cries barely manifested into a wisp When Beirut was attacked the day before Paris. I didn't see any Facebook pictures of the flag of Lebanon. Do any of us even know what the flag of Lebanon looks like??? To **** innocent people is a crime except when we do it, Then it's "There are always casualties of war," But if this isn't a war except when we're killing people, Can it really be called a war? We care so much about the injustice of it, How the innocent are mowed down without mercy, That we want those bombs dropped and we want them dropped now. When those bombs destroy homes and blast children's limbs apart, Bloodless and pale, until the area looks like it used to be a porcelain doll factory... Will we all have Syrian flags for our Facebook pictures?

Hashtags and Hypocrisy
This is not a poem, a poet wrote some white lies about Israel and I want to share the truth that we’re not told by our media’s. Remember, we can disagree about things and still agree about a lot of other things. If you search, you can easily find this information. Most of it comes from Israel media. Israel already had over 10,000 Palestinian prisoners locked up long before the Oct 7 when the genocide begin. Men, women and children in their prisons with no path to freedom. Not to mention the open air prison that the Israeli’s kept the Palestine society trapped in for the past 50 years called Gaza. Committing human rights violation against the indigenous people of the land. The biggest percentage of all the people that were **** on Oct 7th, were killed by Israeli’s killing their own people because they were ordered to follow the Hannibal directive. I suppose you’ve never heard of that, no? Then your news source is limited. Last year in Israel, their high court decided that **** and torture in their prisons, being committed by the Israel army was no longer illegal. Most of their society did not want these prison guards to get in trouble for torturing and ****** the Palestinian prisoners. All those things you claim some unnamed source told you, have already been debunk by many credible sources. Hamas did not do it, Israel rapes, cheats, lies and kills indiscriminately. They own our leaders using AIPAC lobbist who have Trump by the *** (They own Epstein’s library) AIPAC is the reason you believe lies. They own media and congress. Their propaganda rules the networks. And just in the last two years, Israel has started war with Iran, Lebanon and Syria. And of course their genocide happening now to the people of Palestine. I don’t understand how anybody support them. But I’m not a superstitiously impaired Zionist either.

I’m crucified on the cross roads of doubt; My heart is in the middle of all this, My head Is tilted downwards, My eyes are shut; Inverted, So as to look upon my past Because some time Some where There is a missing link, That if I find All this would be clear. I’m in a Jerusalem of my own In it, There is no, wide spaces of sand And camel-descending romans Trying to stab me with nails; Instead, There’s real people, With real nails; There is hope, Now lighter than sand granules, And sand castles Crumbling down, Leaving enough space For a flower to emerge In an Arab spring Fertilized with corps And watered with blood; For Lebanon is running out of water Like the Lebanese are running out of faith- Running into walls. Jumping over obstacles, Over explosion debris, Jumping way in over our heads. I’m in a Jerusalem of my own, One I call home, With windows that open To reshuffle the air particles In a room that has enclosed upon itself, With doors that creek For the scars of the past Still haunt them, With walls Painted with portraits Protecting the memory Of the ones I loved, With walls painted with portraits Picturing poetic illusions- Ones that never left my brains, Ones that tell me, Every night I lose myself In her pictures, That we are getting back together, One day, Somehow, Somewhere, There is a missing link That if I find All this would be clear. I’m strumming out of tune questions On guitars that carry my stories, With strings that need to be changed And necks that grow long As the path I still have in front of me; And though this is not a problem For a Hendrix and a joint, I’m just an ordinary man With a pen- I wear ordinary clothes, I feed up on Ordinary capitalism, I ***** up my notes Of which I never took any; Jerusalem fell apart, But my Jerusalem did not fall yet. On my crucifix, There’s a writing that says “There’s always a piece of you in people, As much as there’s a piece of them in you.” I’m just a man on a crucifix But writers can never be tamed, For they live through the people that learn from them; And those people, Maintain they live forever.

Inner Jerusalem:
I’m crucified on the cross roads of doubt; My heart is in the middle of all this, My head Is tilted downwards, My eyes are shut; Inverted, So as to look upon my past Because some time Some where There is a missing link, That if I find All this would be clear.
