Ignoring the Israeli Palestine conflict is like ignoring the elephant in the room.
Every story has 2 sides....even if you only hear one.
I excuse no violence. I merely try to understand where it comes from.

We welcome your comments.

Counting the holes in the wall from the Israeli guns
I get past 100 when I lose track of the sun
she hides herself behind it...that's a mighty fine place to be
sometimes I wish she'd come down and trade places with me

This war is like a circle
it goes round and round and round
recriminations fester
and are buried in the ground
this war is like a circle

My mother says she doesn't want me out here throwing stones
I tell her it's the only place where I don't feel alone
ever since my daddy died fighting to be free
Allah took his soul and he put it inside me

This war is like a circle
it goes round and round and round
recriminations fester
and are buried in the ground
this war is like a circle
this war is like a circle

is it easy to remember
or is it just hard to forget
is it too late for softness
or a late night for regrets

Here comes another roadblock....another reason to beware
too long have I floated as if suspended in mid air
is it best to be a martyr...or to keep feet on the ground
when a boy becomes a man he too is honor bound

This war is like a circle
it goes round and round and round
recriminations fester
and are buried in the ground
this war is like a circle
this war is like a circle

is it easy to remember
or is it just hard to forget
is it too late for softness
or a late night for regrets

This war is like a circle
this war is like a circle
this war is like a circle
it goes round and round and round
