Israel and Palestine: Issac & Ishmael [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']
Date: 2023-11-03
The land is yours and mine
Over eons and myriad passages of time
Of a truth, and written in the stars; we both belong
Ergo, we can live together and get along
Singing comforting lullabies and joyful songs, for blessed peace, to rule and reign
Thus, banishing deadly blasts and bullets from the Holy terrain
Forsooth. Father Abraham weeps bitter, agonising, tears of blood
To see hatred super-saturate, as a boundless toxic-flood.
**
Train our hearts, wisen our minds, open our eyes, attune our ears
To the unfruitful, futile endless war years
We are birds of a feather
Nesting, standing, flying, and falling togeher
Joined together at the hip and wing-tips
Palestine's metallic-blue sunbird and Israel's orange-crowned hoopoe
Share the skies, soaring heavenwards in synchronicity, jewel-like plumage aglow
Yet, yoked and bound, to the lands' inescapable grip
Ever wetted and soaked, by gushing human- blood spigots
Callously operating to hijack harmony; and to peace - prohibit.
**
Flowing with warm milk and golden honey from Abraham's bosom
The hallowed earth rebels against fratricide- crimson
Of necessity, yearns to nurture green shoots of forgivenes, humility, mercy, and love
And conjoined to heaven, with one voice, calls for the triumph of sirenic turtle-doves
Whilst hawks of war, underscore, flawed and feeble, United Nations orchestrations
Thus, calm and peace, rests with the progeny of Issac and Ishmael: Beleaguered Israeli and Palestinian nations.
**
Israel's passionate-red anemone, and Palestine's magical-purple faqqua iris
Tokens of unrivalled, unspoilt beauty, and glimpses of untainted paradise
Never cruel, angry, or polarising; happily co-exist, at peace and in unity
Unspoken, soundless songs; each a trusty messenger of sacred, benevolent deities
Bearers of life, light, laughter, and love
Both; silky, satiny, regal visitations of the One Supreme God; from above.
