Iraqi Sand
If you take Iraqi sand
And you mix it with some water
It will soften like the land
Spilled with blood of sons and daughters..
Now take it in your hand
Hold it gently in the sunlight
It will shapen at command
When the temperature is just right..
Make a place in which you set it
On the sturdiest foundation
It will strengthen if you let it
Into the mightiest of nations..
You see a house that's built by many
Can withstand the test of one
But if you choose to omit any
That can slowly be undone..
