I have a Dream

I have a dream
Where Abraham's children,
Cousins - Arabs and Jews,
To peace and friendship
Pay their dues
Instead of adding
Fighting and killing
Into the daily news.

I have a dream
Of a Middle East,
So rich in oil,
To better lives
For people on their soil,
Make their future sweet
As milk and honey,
Make their lives sunny
With fair wages,
Decent money,
And give them
Democracy, equality,
Freedom and liberty.

I have a dream
That each single
Glory seeking
Warmonger
And Agitator
Blows himself up,
Sooner than later,
In empty deserts
Near the equator.
