On Lebanon

Can we keep company with the wings of time
Cleaving the bounds of distance in every clime
To gain our cherished freedom out of this cage
Flying yon the bars by the wisdom of age?
Is that only a wish we track fading gleam
On the waste of life, a mirage in a dream?
Yet we dream the dreams dreamt by dreamers before
Who had sailing ships failing against the shore .
So friend, be not sure of the things as they seem .
‘Tis like churning the sea to skim but the ream .
That’s why our joy remains tied to our sorrow ;
That’s why what’s true today may not be tomorrow.
Cannot? why try to alter the scheme of fate ;
Would it not be better to reason and wait?
