Birds,unlike humans, can fly across the barriers
Avoid the checkpoints,need no identity papers, permits
Or gold star.
Brothers,why were you separated?
Why could Palestine not be left as one
where ,as in Andalucia before the madness
of Inquisition,you lived together 500 years of peace
Until Christian conformity and suspicion
Tormented and killed you both?
It is we you should be fighting against
Not each other
Are you our own Roman Games?
You ,in the Arena we watch on our screens
We can turn them off but you,brothers and sisters,
are still there.And your children.
What remains for any of us?
