Is this, truth new, prophet, never knew
His promise of a peaceful fief
Will be mired in political hue
And ageless hate, beyond belief!

If this Israel was never Palestine
Why is this bloodshed every day
Who started hatred, crossed the line
Why history cradles this melee!

Whose faith was it that bred this fear
Fanatics, do they need any creed
Just hate is enough to manufacture
Shenanigans of political greed!

How long will last this schizophrenia
This mirage made of blood and sand
Whose ethos faces inertia
ENIGMA OF THE PROMISED LAND!
