Hitler and Balfour
Sought a similar crime:
Seize the Semites and seize the times!
Remake the face of Europe
Remove the Jewish tribes:
Plant their pain in Palestine!
Upend those Arabic tribes
Semites one and all:
Entrail their woes bestride the wall!
So, Exodus can recommence
With different outcast souls:
Let time bring forth its deep revenge!
Rehoused and dispossessed
Swirling in those desert sands
All Semites muster hate-filled plans.
Now, Europe of the holocaust
Is free from Jewish pain:
Warsawa, Berlin - no longer bear their shame!
On Golan Heights
In fulcrum might
Loathing claims its deathly tithe.
This queer disorder
Unending in its pain
Begets the same marauder.
They torture each other:
One bairns murder
Brings forth another.
Blaming each other
Allah and Jehovah
Retire on high:
In holy writ
In savage script
All murder is allowed.
This spiral of hate shall never end:
The bodies die
The bombs descend.
Arm in arm
Faith and Death
Walk out upon the heaving earth
Awash in tribal guilt.
