Of the numerous conflicts around the globe today,
The Middle East is home to humanity's decay.
Muslims, Christians, Jews with claims to the Holy Land,
Each group trying forcefully to gain through demand.

Occupation is the reason of such malevolent combat,
The year '48 brought many crying on their prayer mats.
Their land was occupied, simply taken away,
They retaliated, killing innocent on holidays.

The battling has continued, blood anything but rare,
The religious flock to their houses of prayer.
Not a solution has come into place,
All citizens try to keep a straight face.

We are all humans; we must not further divide,
Yet the apartheid wall only puts peace plans aside.
All must come together, and unite as humanity,
All fighting must cease; we must avoid insanity.
