Welcome To Destination Lebanon

It is hot out here... the weather is tragic and so is the News. The spirits do not soar... the lips stiff from the thirst... and eyes whisk a flatten last breath. Wasted again by the shocking Hezbollah. Rocks bully, guns fire, and bombs engrave. Children fall and under the feet... shades flayed, and Mullahs trade... dollars. Leashed black eyes and a country... burns in blood. Refugee camps relocate and George Clooney*, in his latest Armani suit... flies. A country is in fashion! Again! Hollywood sparkles... plastic is in demand. Cutter, cries, not once, not twice. Caved sculpts, dull stories, prose poetry, feed them hotdogs! Where are the rotten sweets hidden? The ketchup? The falafel? ... The clock is ticking... immediately stomach... before the smell arrives... that of a burning bride! Why the young ages drop? HeaVy, heaVy... into my heart... Fists beat against the chests... mothers curse.

It never stops!
