Sands of the Holy Lands

Breath taking views, conflict on the news.
Historical sites....vast landscape of lights. 
A place so strong in the past, leaving a magical appeal that lasts.

Parts like a middle eastern L.A, parts that Jesus would recognize today.
Modern buildings built in historical styles, 
an awe-inspiring image that seems to stretch for miles. 

Tensions are high and many die...
walking in the footsteps of Jesus, walking were much blood has been spread...

Walking where many were shot dead...

A place of beauty, death, guns and war... 

A place of enchanting allure....
