They gave us powdered milk…and took away our childhood…(Mohamad Maghout)

They gave us watches and robbed us of the Time

They handed us shoes and exploited the Roads

They offered us rings and perfume and hided from us Love

They brought us the swings and prevented us from Celebrating

They lavished on us chemical fertilizers and stole the Springs

They initiated us with Parliaments and denied us Freedom

They extended to us guards and locks and robbed us of Security

They gave us powdered milk and took away our Childhood

They infiltrated insurgents for us and wasted our Revolution…
