Baa baa black sheep

you are only pulling the wool
over your own eyes
to disguise the lies you choose
not to comb from your heads
your nits of nonsense

listen to the cries of the hilltop youth
besieged by their self-ghettoing mindsets,
sacrificial lambs of time and circumstance

and when the camps are all emptied
when the Samarian surface changes face,
what happens to this new race to madness?

and what becomes of the Palestinians and Israelis
who bleed in plead for Peaceful co-existence
in this god-forsaken wasteland
of forever-nodding sheepish heads?

No, I do not believe
this is another Masada moment.
Of course, I was never the brightest star
when it came to studying the history
of these so-called promised lands,
so I could be very very wrong.

Simply, I once walked those lands in my own sandals,
felt the shifting sands and the spirits of the past
and believe...know, they still walk
underneath today’s trampling feet.

Shalom, shalom,
Peace to all.

Thanks for reading, Dixie. The sad fact is, this 'hilltop youth' mindset has destructive tentacles that reach deeply into our own country, not just Israel. Beware of these bleating sheep, who are intent on bleeding the very thought of peaceful co-existence among different peoples of planet earth....
