WARNER BAXTER May 2015
a duet
Palestine and Israel
To the tune of Home, Home on the Range

(Palestine)
Oh, give me a land where no Hebrews stand
where Palestine could live and shine
where seldom is seen a Rabbi or ‘stein
and Jerusalem could be all mine



(chorus)
Land, land without Jews
where Palestine could live and shine
where seldom is seen a Rabbi or ‘stein
and Jerusalem could be all mine


(Israel)
You don’t understand, God gave us this land
where Palestine would hate and whine
where seldom it seems, peace is a dream
and Jerusalem should be all mine



(chorus)
*Land, land of the Jews
where Palestine still hates and whines
where seldom it seems, peace is a dream
and Jerusalem shall be all mine
This is a humorous view of two groups trying to occupy the same small piece of land unsuccessfully for over 4,000 years.
Each side is given one verse each to express their side.
The viewpoints contained in the lyrics do Not reflect the opinions or viewpoint of the Poet
Rayénari Das Feb 2015
The poem bleeds
from the ancient city of emperors
and pours his saliva
about geniuses
on mothers *****
in small wooden churches ;
the poem bleeds,
coloring with mystery
the tasteless past
of the sorrows of the world.
