A letter to my
brother..!
Dear brother,
Its being a long time since I heard your voice as well as the voice of our beloved Lebanon
speaking freely, but yesterday! When I read the news about the political system in
(occupied) Lebanon has been challenged and the malevolent political machine of the puppet
regime in full swing making threats. I felt the rising sun over our hills even
thought I am thousand of kilometers away from the nearest hilltop overlooking our house, I
felt the warmth of the long awaiting ray of hopes strolling down the valleys and across
the mountain top to our neighboring villages and the one after. I sensed the need to go
out and
revive my souls from the long nightmare that engulfed our lives.
Have confidence in the people choice (Hikamt Dib) for he will be the representative of the
“free people”, my brother we should ask ourselves when was the last time a
politician was elected from the people by the people, or a politician believed and
faithfully placed his decision above the fear of wickedness so far that he arrive at jail
for it.
Oh brother, can I ask you to pay a visit to the mausoleum of the sheik Bachir and tender a
flower asking his forgiveness for not finishing his dream…our dream of Free,
Sovereign and independent Lebanon. Brother! Can you pay my respect to the Sheik Hassan
Khalid and ask his pardon for not telling the truth and flouting the occupation and its
dummies then perhaps facing the ultimate price ...free life! I ask of you not to
forget Dr. Geagea in his isolation, for he alone paid the price for the sin of the war
whilst the rootless decadent wandering freely stealing our future.
Basically brother we the people of Lebanon haven’t been openly truthful with
ourselves, saying out loud what’s best for us just like Bachir taught us and what is
more wanted us to be free and you know what?? they silenced his voice because the
occupation and its dummies couldn’t handle the truth, YES! they didn’t want to
hear it? seeing that it hurt them. Sheik
Hassan Khalid told the truth intentionally knowing what the ultimate price would be!?? for
the reason that the truth and only the truth can set us free.
We are empowered to defend our freedom and independence since our Army is busy collecting
the bills of the degenerate, ignoring that our soldiers' duties is to protect our borders,
our rights and our constitution. I am more than sure if we as a people united our
voices together and told the world over enough is enough ...END the occupation and from
this day forward we have the right to choose our representatives not Syria, not the USA
for the reason that we know best who can represent us as well as our children’s.
Dearest brother!?? Would you please remember this date, the 14th of September 2003 we have
a date with destiny our destiny; make sure you register your name and you go out to cast
what’s rightfully yours and please! please don’t let them kidnap the only thing
we have left for us …our freedom of choice! We need to tell the so called guardians
of the people who stole our voices and made our choices that neither religion nor family
is at stake here today, it’s our live and our children’s future and no one
should make those choices for us any longer, 27 years it’s a long time.
Be strong my brother for every time evil tried to overwhelm us, each time failed seeing
that our unity and freedom forever win through.
Yours truly,
Elie Atmé
PS: can you give the kids my regards and reassure them that we will meet soon, and the
forces of evil in next to no time they will renounce their hold on the free populace.
