The Holy Land

The land is soaked in blood and tears
the hate is very old 
Like all the ancient stories
in the Holy Bible told

Each vows to kill the other
asks their God to make it so
Their vengeance masked as prayers
consume the Holy Land of woe

No leaders can convince them
their hate like a disease
There is no cure for this old plague
which blows with every breeze

Very well written, dear Samia. A powerful reflection on how ancient hate and faith-fueled vengeance perpetuate endless sorrow in a land longing for peace.
