Sleep tight, Zu'ama

I couldn't sleep last night. I was thinking why I, like my country Lebanon, was so restless all the time. It was half-past midnight, and I was watching a taped version of Saad Hariri's press conference on mute (what's the point, really?), when I started thinking: what was Saad Hariri doing at that very moment? Where was he at that instance? Was he tucking his kids into bed? Was Hassan Nasrallah busy making kids? Was Jumblatt being all sophisticated and reading French literature, snug in his bed? Was Samir Geagea doing what I hope he was doing at half-past midnight, after 11-years in prison and a wife like Setrida?...

....Or were they all fast asleep?


And if they were all fast asleep, why was it me, the Lebanese citizen, that was so restless and worried about the situation of my country? I hope you can all sleep tight, ya zu'ama, because I sure can't.
