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
