Palestine Solution

That brawl between Arabs and Jews has a long history

There was a war between Arabs and IsraelisThe kind of war that could drag for years

The war for power, the war for landThe war about who controls whose government

The war to prove once and for allTo resolve the very long standing brawl

My God came on strong and your God's in defeatI will force you to wash my dirty feet

Sorry, fella, you got it all wrongDo you hear a sound of an unmanned drone?

It has laser-guided bombs and clever gunsIts power is stronger than of fifty imams

We have the biggest fucking gunsAnd the nukes that leave survivors no chance

Hold on, before you have made one big mistakeYou put your money on the technological stake

Killing people is not a solutionAnd there is a better resolution

Please, stop killing each other just for one momentAnd listen, for Christ's sake, to my argument

During the Exodus God promised you landBut he did not mention on what continent

Since you were travelling on footIt did not allow for a long commute

With no cars and no buses you were destinedTo settle the land called Palestine

I know, now this place is a messThe Arabs became citizens of the second class

Look at the United States, it is a great nationBut fifty years ago they had segregation

Black Panthers – Hamaz. Do you see precedent?Now they have a black president!

I wrote this poem not for moneyI just wanted it to be funny

I am not an Arab, neither am I JewThat gives me right to laugh at both of you

It had been said by Abu Ibn SinLaughter is the best medicine
