We thought he was the resistance master

We thought he was the resistance master

Two days after his speech (The head of the Lebanese Shiite militia Party of God)

By Tarif Youssef Agha

We thought he was the resistance master

To find out he is no one but an Iranian tool

He lost his way to Haifa, so he invaded Homs

He deserves the title of “The Lost Resistant”

He thought that liberating Jerusalem can be accomplished by fiery speeches

Lost lands can not be returned by long tongues

He brought to our attention that South Lebanon was rather a theater stage

Where he acted with his partner; Israel

Shooting a bullet here and launching a grenade there

Followed by celebrating thin victories

Then came the free withdrawal as a gift

To assigns him both, the guard and the exclusive agent of the South

He was treated as a holy man until he became another idol, like dictators

People start revolutions to get rid of their idols

All those who were silenced in Lebanon

All were assassinated by him or by Assad

He revealed today his true sectarian claws

He revealed he has legal rights in Syria

Oh Hassan, let me tell you

Swallowing Syria is not as swallowing soup

We saw your yellow caskets being carried by large numbers

And we heard crying and weeping coming from your villages

You fooled your young men by issuing them passports to heaven

We saw those passports, not just heard about them

You fooled them by saying “it was a holly war”

I don’t know when ‘the holly war’ became a trick

You created war among the citizens of the same country

The robes of the gallows, therefore, are too little for you

Sorry in case we kill a lot of you

But you were the ones who made it “kill or be killed”

Yes, Syria will not fall, but its ruler will

And with him will fall all his protectors and agents
