Premium Member The Rape of Lebanon
The month of August brings with it memories of the Beirut blast. Beirut is once again under attack. I wrote this poem as a tribute. 

The Rape of Lebanon

My darling, Lebanon, do not be fooled
What they feel for you is lust and not love
You're scented...

Premium Member Cedars of Lebanon
Tree of honor born from the cedars of Lebanon
No seed does it drop and it not know where
Absorbing the heat to provide a haven of shade
Seasons and storms cause no threat
No cutting words can perpetrate its bark
A sapling mirrors its sway in the daystar’s light
Majestic...

Premium Member You Are the Cedar of Lebanon
How else can a mortal envisage your greatness
if not through the envy of the majestic existence
of the cedar of Lebanon?
Your lofty height is damped in shady foliage
And beautiful branches multiplying with long boughs

Underground springs direct their rivers
all around the place where you’re planted
making you greater...

Lebanon
shrapnel of empty hearts bent on violence 
envious of your enchanting beauty
demanding complete control
finding intimacy only through destruction... 
when will you learn the ways of love?
stop trying to prove you are right
for we are all wrong in this war
all we want is a warm cup...

Old Lebanon Cemetery
There is a beautiful ancient burial ground in the Ozark mountains that is the resting place for countless generations of my lineage. One of those places that completes a part of me that remains incomplete wherever else I might be. It is the place where...

Roots of Lebanon
Is thy growth deep?
Mindest thou thy roots -
Than thy boastful shoot?
Then thou must be the great one -
From the shores of Lebanon!

Is thy bark like an armour thick-
That the axe head cannot wound?
Are thy branches with love rich
With song birds -
That in thee weave a...

BJORK II LEBANON
How enlightened I feel
Her music so surreal
I wonder on her ordeal
Whatt makes her feel these feels?

Does she chant them back in silence?
Read and recollect at night?
Does she always sing with her whole soul?
Or is this her therapy, instead of to write?

Bjork, bjork
She took over New...

Premium Member From the Mouth Of a Lebanese Child
I'm scared to close my eyes tonight
I ask my mom to hold me tight
To tell me it will be alright,
and rock me close till morning light

I hear my auntie start to cry,
and no one wants to tell me why
my uncle's gone without goodbye
I wonder what...
