THE WORLD HAS PAID DEARLY FOR THE LOVE OF THE "HOLY LAND" - IMAGINE

 
 
Imagine
What the world would be like today,
If Israelis and Palestinians had not
Followed religious fanatics
From the beginning.
 
Imagine Palestine
Without the fanatics,
Living alongside Israel in peace:
 
Imagine their land,
Irrigated, plowed, seeded,
Their olive trees bearing fruit,
Their young people
In schools,
Without guns.
Their shops bursting with fruit,
Their towns full of visitors.
 
Imagine the Palestinians
Respected and accepted
Instead of feared and reviled.
 
Imagine what the world would be like
Without the fanatics.
 
It is not about God
It is about greed;
It is about people
Who want everything,
And give others,
Nothing but death.
 
It is about fanatics
Who blame God
For the atrocities they commit,
And the sheep in sheets,
That teach their children
To kill and die.
 
So their land lies fallow,
And their buildings, crushed,
And their sons bleed,
And they blame their crimes on God,
And their misery on Israel.
 
Who will stop the madness ?
