Hebrew Homeland
September 19, 2012
A small girl speaks Hebrew
a mask of innocence with the sound of severity.
The Wind
A soldier holds his uzi
standing tall
obedience paves his fate.
The Fire
I can see the grey walls
dividing up the land
and I hold my breath
dividing up the land
not in fear,
but in pain.
The Land
And in the water,
the land is under
and it no longer matters
the salt will heal your wounds.
The Water
My father,
living in the streets
and fighting their war,
learned that there is nothing to fear
So the wind holds the flag,
the land stays hot with the fire,
the water is calm
And the fear in the air
Passes by
