Our Communal Life


From family to tribe
to settlement to nation.

When we work together,
anything is possible.

When we work at odds,
prosperity dwindles for all.

Tribes

The more abstract, the easier
The lie. Borders dissolve;
Those who can get out alive.

Indigent and homeless, Sunnis
Grovel in immigrant camps
In Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.

Alawites staunch their purity
While Christians cower
And try not to take sides.

Old news stays news’
Whoever has a grudge
Picks up a gun to avenge
Their murdered families.
