Palestine is burning, and Lebanon too

Under the pretext of the policy of superior wisdom issued from this side or that, but from all sides, it seems that the Middle Eastern Good Neighborhood is not but a conflict field mined with the cries of the "Others", " whenever, with time, and in the midst of this stormy cries, a whole people is totally destroyed in accordance to the poets and the prophets.

Now let's stop talking, for we ought to have something done.

What is the use of such madness that blazes out of an adopted country or by any other party, in return?

We, the Poets of the World who are concerning with this fierce and unequal war which keeps targeting a free and independent people aiming its extermination, we deeply look for nothing but peace and dominance of mind for the sake of the Lebanese, Palestinian, and Iraqi citizen, and also for any other human so as to live and let live with his vital field away from any threat whether by launching or via waving with the stick.
We the Poets of the World, starting with Edgar Allan Poe and ending with Joumana Haddad, passing by all the poets in the world, dead and alive, famous or infamous, absolutely refuse this savage attack that extremely violates the international treaties by brutality through committing such criminal actions against the humanity as long as the Israeli armies besieging Lebanon with a hell belt and bombarding her infrastructure and cutting out her arteries by damaging the bridges and roads and by prevention of each aid to those poor besieged citizens .

Israel insists to sabotage every thing, proud of her own martial superiority and the unconditioned support of The United State. Massacres everywhere and fatal silence spreads about, where Lebanon is bleeding and giving her martyrs in hundreds, where most of them are children. This is the very current situation of Lebanon, days after days pass on within the horrible crime that Israel keeps committing so fiercely using banned weapons, as if jungle law is judging this third globalized millennium.

And we the world poets, ask you, the General Secretary of the UN, nothing but one mere thing, we ask you to force Israel to stop her crimes. PLEASE SAVE THE LEBANESE ROSE, save the life of a people who loves the life, the justice and the freedom.
