Tomorrow

Tomorrow I will not be around

Nor those who I loved

Or who love me.

And the world would have changed

There would be more concrete

And less trees ;

I wonder if birds will still chirp

And whether there will be windows

To let the sun light come thru !

Whereas I sympathize with you

My son,

I can only pity your son

( I cannot grieve his fate

  Because I may not live

  Long enough to love him )

Who must carry the 21st century

On his weak shoulders

And falter at every step,

And whose life will be one long hurdle ;

Even you may not be able

To protect him

Against all the ill-winds that will blow.

I can only pray in silence

Not to be re-born in Beirut.
