two people and a dream

Two people and a dream

It is easy to start a war, send up a rocket, and get one in return and spiteful words lead to hatred of the sort 
the consumes the soul and reason disappears in the fog 
of odium that can only end in the slaughter of a nation 
The military invasion of Gaza began with righteous anger and a thirst for revenge, but now as vengeance
has been sated it is time to end this if it is not too late 
the political leader of the invading nation is tired, he knows he was overreaching himself to his enemies at home's delight, his face drawn and depressed as he senses the prize to pay for failure, a political death 
His name will forever be the one who started a war that 
nearly brought his own country into nuclear ashes only
stopped by those he had hated the most 
In the end, we might live to see a country of two people
where religion is a private affair that does not interfere in the daily life of the people
And this nation shall be mighty and bring peace to a region that has, for too long, been in the shadows of so many 
wars suffered where much blood has been spilled
