No other Choice
Why must we fight,
Like dogs over a
bone
Others who look on
Seek to make us atone
For acts of horror we
heap
On each other’s heads
We are left to
count
The Wounded, the
maimed
Injured and the dead.
After 5000 years you
come to light
With the idea that you
do not want Israel
In your sight
Nowhere in the Middle
East
You would prefer us in
the Med'
The Red or Dead Sea-
Ten leagues under.
A little late in
historic terms
Time enough for you to
learn
That many nations sought
Our total destruction
But none succeeded
In this, select purpose.
All those who hated
us
Have been consigned
to
The rubbish heap of
history
Had they chosen to
build
Rather than destroy,
their Gods
Would have showered
them
With life, and loves
rewards.
Even Hitler who boasted
his Reich
Would last a thousand
years
Hardly existed twelve,
before
A disgusted world
Wreaked vengeance for
the misery
Blood and tears, he
augmented.
Time and the world will
allow
Us no other alternative
to this
Combines our people’s
wisdom
And knowledge, to create
two States
Living side by side.
We would become the envy
of nations
Hopefully attain the
happiness
All people deserve and
seek.
We have tried everything
else
Over many decades, and
now know
We have no other choice.
