“أَتيتُ الأولادَ المشردين بالأوراق
وسألتُهم أن يرسموا أشجاراً
فرسموا أغصاناً طويلة فارغة
نائمة على الأرض
وعليها مدفعٌ وعسكر
فقلتُ : لا ، إلاّ هذا
ارسموا زهراً وبيتاً
فرسموا زهوراً ملقاةً في مياه المطر
والعسكرُ يدوسُها
وقلتُ : لا ، إلا هذا
ارسموا عصفوراً يغني
كما كنتم ترسمون مِن قَبل
فرسموا عصفوراً يبكي
والمطرُ يهطل
فسكتُّ وأخذتُ الأوراق
وذهبت”
― زياد الرحباني, صديقي الله
