Wherever I Stand It Will Be My Holy Land

Wherever I stand, It will be my holy land! Wherever I stand, It will be my holy land, Listen to what I say, And read my lips Friend! The world has dramatically changed, And became difficult to re-fix or amend! The world of double B, Bush and Blair, The just, the right became wrong and unfair, But who would question it now or care? This reminds of the first boar, Their entire war machine, And camel's **** and sand, For what? For a Bedouin, who can neither read? Nor understand, The ethos of civilised manners, Of what was once the Arabian nights' land? Now, if you are referring to tyranny, I can feed you with a torrent of tyrants, In the age of globalised plenty, These are many here and there starting from you, From where it all began, From where you are now dictating and From where you right now stand! Uncle Sam made a partnership pact with Arabian Sheikhs, And suddenly these unholy duos call each other ally and friend! If you are after a might destruction, Here you have Iraq, Libya, And now Syria and Yemen, Difficult to re-fix, or to amend, And Afghanistan long before them, Suffered, fell down to its knees and Sunk into the bloody sand! My brothers are not biological anymore, My brothers are not genuine like before, My true brothers are now those who stand By me, firm and denounce, protest, And shout hands in hand! For peace, justice solidarity that may blend, Into one world motto and convey the message The mighty message, to the tribesmen, The villager, the perceived enemy And the friend!
