The Dark Hole / By Walid Joumblatt

By Walid Joumblatt

Thanks to internal rambling that leads to nowhere, but more budget deficit

The coming flood of debt and internal decay will not be able to contain

But nobody is listening. They stand and listen defiantly to the national anthem

087

This anthem that satisfies everybody and nobody, full of paradoxes like Lebanon

086

And like usual beautiful and defiant speeches where everybody listens to himself

085

and one day as we go deeper into deficit and debts, all the possible studies will be useless

083

it is like shooting its own feet, like having speeches in front of a mirror or the usual parrots

082

but beware the Ides of March. The Dark hole is just ahead of us

081

let us stop hiding from facts and face realities

099

because all so called leaders sooner or later will fall down. It is enough dancing on the rope
