Beirut - Hope


"We don't just want hope.
We don't want to have to believe in hope, 
hope there will be better times to come,
hope for better days ahead.
Nor do we want to just dream of hope,
there in our minds as we sleep,
but not in our reality,
not there at our waking.

We need to see hope!
We need to taste it,
drink it,
see it light our nights and power our days. 
We need to see it in our bank balances,
on the shelves at the stores,
and in the eyes of our children.

We need a tangible hope for;
without hope,
we have nothing...

we have absolutely nothing"
