Death and silence,

I look back

For the last time as the moon

Brights behind that village.

Deir el Qamar: All our dreams were altered

Words I uttered long ago

Honesty today became untrue.

There was nothing to explain

All our prayers sounded wrong

There is nothing to forgive.

Keep in mind, remember

As bells and cannons boom

Dear son that the war was      

 Never more than a sacrificial stage.
