My Solution

MY SOLUTION!

(A Fantasy)

Jews and Arabs are all the same, brothers under the skin,

So why on earth is Jerusalem in the awful state it's in?

I'm an Agnostic, I don't care who owns the 'holy' city,

But, certainly, all this wrangling is very far from pretty!

I have a little fantasy that I could put things right

And the future of the Middle East could again be shiny bright!

I don't look like a Terrorist; I'm elderly and grey,

I'm a female Anglo-Saxon and I don't even pray!

What if I went as a tourist, so innocent-looking, me!

But I went intent on blowing-up every monument I could see.

What if I could wreak destruction on a truly massive scale

And then escape on the next plane not leaving any trail?

What would they have to fight about? They'd have to co-exist

As they cleared-up the rubble, using hand instead of fist!

And, in time, the lovely grass would grow, as depicted up above,

And Arab and Jew would settle down in a City of Brotherly Love!

Of course, it's just a fantasy. Instead, my friends, I fear

The wrangling will go on and on year after year after year!

I'll never see it settled. I'm much to old for that,

But I'm a cross old Granny saying

'What are you playing at?'

Imagine a New Jerusalem, without Religion's taint!
I might go down in history!
I might be made a Saint!
