I pray for Lebanon.

Samar E. Kai

 

In the depth of the night

I lay on my bed trying to sleep

I struggle to close my eyes and ears

I fight to let my mind in peace.

I hear sounds of helicopters and warplanes right above in the sky, in Lebanon's sky.

I hear bombs and missiles: they're far away, but I feel them so close to me.

It is silence that roams in my country

It is fear that fills its streets

It is sadness that fills its homes.

Wind blows around my house; it's a normal course of nature.

But when the wind blows, it brings with it tears in the eyes, shivering of the heart and death of hope.

We are still alive, but deep inside they killed us.

They are killing us every time they fire their weapons against us, every time they throw their bombs towards us.

How can we sleep and the image of dead children is right in front of us, the blood of innocent people blown on the debris of our smashed houses!

How can my mind be in serenity while I look into my parents' eyes and see fear within?!

Each night I go to bed, I pray…

I pray not just to keep my parents safe,

Not just for the fear of not seeing my brothers again,

Not just for the dead people,

Not just for the wounded persons…

I pray for Lebanon…

For Lebanon we need to pray…

God help Lebanon!

STOP THE WAR!

Samar Kai

I, the president of my soul

From upon the deepest point of my heart

I stand still declaring that I'm Lebanese

I'm one out of billions of Lebanese who shout for peace, STOP THE WAR!

For the sake of all people who are being killed every day, every night, every minute, each and every second.

Lebanon and Israel are both being destroyed, ruined and devastated

Children, women, men are dying

Soldiers, lovers, poets, journalists, writers, doctors, engineers, lawyers, farmers, actors, teachers…they are ALL dying.

Both countries are losing their people

How much are they supposed to endure your tyrannical dealings?

How can your minds handle killing innocent people… people who have been gifted life by God?

Who are you to end up their lives with a sword, weapon or bomb!

It is today that you should stop your war

It's you who started war; it's you who should put an end to it

End it now, now, now.

Not tomorrow, tomorrow it will be too late.

You're losing your people, losing your countries

Losing what you always dreamt of…

Why do you want your children to suffer what you suffered?!

Haven't you wanted to live in peace and provide your families with peace!

Why are you killing your own hopes?

Why destroy what you spent your whole life building?

Years gone by to reach where you are now

Why erase them in a push of button

Why don't you think of others?

Think of your children, sisters, brothers, parents, friends, wife and husband…

Think about them

It's not always about YOU!!!

It's about your country

STOP THE WAR

And give the chance for people to feel proud and secure in their countries…

I beg you:

STOP THE WAR.

Are we doomed to live in war? by Samar KAI

Is it written in the “Book of the World� that each generation in Lebanon shall experience war?!

We have read in history books about the wars that our beloved Lebanon has passed through. When we were children, we learned in our schools how great our country is, we've read about its culture and civilization, history and great men who raised its name worldwide. We became ultimately proud to be Lebanese. We are part of a country that our ancestors struggled to make it what it is now. Our parents lived in war…they spoke to us about it, about the blood of blameless people that was worn out, about the sorrow that people lived in, about feelings of panic and resentment that encountered them. They witnessed their country being shattered by men who didn't value our treasured Lebanon. They have been fighting and then fighting again all over to save their land, their sea…their home. They've trespassed all obstacles that stood in their way to become what they are…

They are the summit of the cedars

They are the peak of the mountains

They are the twinkle of diamonds

They are the rising hope

They are the crown of the country

They are the core of Lebanon

But why on Earth are we supposed to stay in a struggle to be alive?!

We are losing our country

We are losing the lives of guiltless children

We are losing the arrogance of mothers

We are losing the strength of warriors of freedom…

And no one is willing to do anything about it…

Not any country has shown its courage and taken the initiative to help us stop the war

They're just tossing words.

Children's souls and tears of mothers and fathers are yelling to the world, to the whole world:

STOP THE WAR! STOP THE WAR!

We have the right to live…
