Is animosity in need of another separating isthmus?
A wall dug deeply as a dagger in the cause of peace
Engendering loss of considerably more land
The source of survival for Palestine’s embattled nation
A morbid structure conjuring the image of Berlin’s wall
And the ethnic separations of valiant South Africa
Cordoned life evoking Europe’s iron wall
Peoples separated by dint of sword and unjust decree
The elusive pursuit of peace and security
Ill-founded on the logic of war and preemption
Will the wise of Zion perceive the essence of tranquility?
Justice rendered to a nation long oppressed
A people entitled to freedom and equity
On the hallowed soil of the ancestor’s land
Intensified apartheid shall only enhance the backlash
Struggle to rejoin what has been unjustly divided
A homeland and a people yearning for independence
And freedom for the imprisoned Aqsa Mosque
Transcending the isthmus of inert progress
To shatter the fetters of a dark future
Of perpetual strife rendering the morrow bleak
For all who live in the globe’s hamlet
