Your work is so beautiful and very touching. I want to introduce my family to yours, and see if we are related. I am the descendant of Joseph Elias Sassine and Rosa Nabbout. They were from the village of Bsarme, I think that is how it is spelled. Please keep in touch.
Hi Sarah, thank you for the kind comment. I guess your mom is from Amyoun el Koura. My family lives in Akkar, witch is also in the north of Lebanon. The relations between el Nabbout family in Akkar and the one in Amyoun is so weak and old. but we are still the same family. Sassine
Poor families afraid to look outside Seeking only for a place to hide Hear a bomb here, another there Causing this war was just not fair Blood of innocent people flowing on the streets Blood of others underneath our feet Over stupid political immature crap Like who should be noticed more on the map Innocent lives being taken away Trying to find an explanation was difficult to say Islamic, Christian, Buddhist or Jew Doesn't mean you see everyone's point of view Religion is sacramental not a reason for war Not a reason to look up to the rich and down on the poor It's sad to see such a beautiful country lose its respect When people hear "Lebanon" they hear a country that's been wrecked We used to be noticed for our large mountains and beautiful trees Now we're only known for flying over seas Far from home, settling somewhere new Working day night to make enough to buy a pair of shoes Depressing as it may seem this story is true As much as you hear, you'll never have a clue You'll never know what it was really like To live in a country where everyday they were on a strike On strike to gain some freedom to speak Or to get some food for those who are so weak It happened so fast, they turned us all on each other A country is like a family, you shouldn't steal from your brother Like Jesus taught us, respect your neighbors and friends Don't make it worse when it's already been to the end My country has lost its life, its respect and purity And now that's all left for people to see A country crumbling like a broken cake I hope they're happy; they've left nothing to take It's all been stolen, all taken away Now I'm here with God, only able to pray
