The Lebanese Revolution that already won

People have been protesting for more than two weeks now and the government is numb to the people’s demand. No matter what happens next, this revolution already created a series of achievements for Lebanese citizens to be proud of.

…حيث لا يجرؤ أحد على الدخول

في زمن غابت فيه شمس الحق وراء أفق من الظلم و الفساد, أغرقت أمواج المصالح أطفالا أبرياء في قعر بحر اليأس. أطفالا لم يروا من الحياة نورا أو فرحا, أطفالا صرخوا بأعلى الأصوات طالبين يدّا للمساعدة فكتمت هذه اليدّ أصواتهم.

ملء عين الوطن

كلنـا للوطـن للعـلى للعـلم

كلنا للأمل, كلنا لوطن مشيّد على دماء الشهداء. كلنا للقوّة, لجيش يُقاوم الظالم و الأعداء. للعُلى يطمح و للعلَم يستشهد. فهل من رتبة أنبل من الشهادة؟ هذا هو حامي الحدود الذي يعشق كل حبّة من تراب أرضه عبادة
