Unflinching as though
indomitable winds of despair
Relentlessly pursuing the quest for peace
As if a mirage embellishing an untrue reality
Promising the proximity of imminent resolution
Behold! Rogers has a final solution
And the Peele Commission shall resolve the deadlock
Kissinger shuttles from venue to venue
Peace is finally at hand!
Opportunities of sadistic illusion
Promising redemption of lost rights
The size of Palestine continually diminishes
A tiny, shrunken area becomes the promised abode
Settlements and an odious wall perennially expand
The new map is disillusions’ new elixir
Wither Palestine is a heart-wrenching pondering
Await myriad unrealizable plans of peace
As though salt that rapidly dissolves in water
Leaving a taste of perpetually unfulfilled hope
Like a cauldron of water and stones
Designed to allay the hungry family’s desire for food
Await! There is yet another peace scheme
Ah! Another wave that breaks on the shore
But isn’t there a heavy toll for all?
Indeed, the powers and the oppressed alike?!
Heavy clouds of unknowable content
Beware a downpour of unfathomable event
