Compromise

How long
Until Israel
And Palestine
Are one state of
Equal citizens not
Based on religion but
As residents of the state
Of what? Palisrael? Perhaps
There is no compromise and the
Answer is to nuke the place from
Orbit, only way to be sure. But
It seems a pity and a sorrow
That two peoples so long
Neighbors cannot be a
Good neighbor to one
Another. If these two
Groups cannot find
A compromise no
Peace will allow
A land of milk
And honey
Green
Treelines
Fountains of
Freshwater for
All citizens equally,
But any compromise
Requires concessions
On each side of issues
Too precious unless both
Are willing to concede
Parts of their core
Demands or else
The nuke option
Will become
Reality to
Settle
Hubris in
The Holy Land
Not by flood but by
Fire that blinds noonday.
