Iraq or "The Land between Two Rivers"




Misunderstanding
Resentment
Fear
-
Blood mingled with salt
From so many tears
-
Here death has invaded
The minds of the seers
-
The sky has turned yellow
The sand has gone blue
A world upside down
All afraid of the few
-
Who deal with the bomb
The Kalashnikov too
-
Dictators
Liberators
Solutions applied
-
The results were the same
-
Innocents died
-
Then 
Religious division
Created the slide

-
Into a pit

That a nation divides
-
Iraq bury the sword
-
Let your Nation
Be found
-
For in the sunrise
-
And the thorn tree
-
In the soil
That you tread
-
Lies the soul
Of your Country
-
Enough
-
Has it bled

_

Egal Bohen
