Middle-East: Practical Solution or Biblical Stalemate

Israel-Palestine Conflict

A problem as primitive as civilization we know,

Where humanity has lost civility sure & slow.

With medieval maps spawned by imperialism still masquerading as evidence,

Two of One God’s Children fight it out while the world can only offer pretense.

Mortars and rockets has muzzled the anguish and stymied the prayer,

Where the mighty rain fire on innocents when the culprits hide in their layer.

Love Can Achieve More Than Hate

Talks carry on when humanity fills the street with stories of soulless gore,

Where the powerful protect, the weak destroy, & press inks its horrendous folklore.

Although the existence of either can never be debated or denied,

Between a hidden monster & a blatant demon, peace has been brutalized & defiled.

The Middle-East Tragedy

With the bodies piling up and no end to the killings in sight on either side,

Why are the culprits still deciding the fate of those who can only cower and hide?

Are we a generation too nascent for a tussle that is too biblical to be practical,

Is the blessed land destined to be the domain of the unfortunate and miserable?

Peace

Don’t rest assured as if we have time of plenty in a conflict spanning millennia,

The world has seen enough dismay to realize there is no hiding from the irony of this godless mania.  

Slowly but surely the voice of reason are being drowned out by the hard-line evil,

It is time for the world to stand up and be counted or forever be shamed for being too feeble.

A Game of Epic Proportion

 I for one do accept my limitations in suggesting recourse for Palestine, Israel or both,

Yet we need to stand up and be counted no matter the criticism that hurt or the eyes that loathe.

It is getting harder to put people before the fact without taking a side,

Whilst our efforts for peace & love may fail, take pride for you and I at least tried.

No point in washing our hands as if it were an issue too far and too old,

It just could be our story that is currently being foretold.

Death on Both Sides
