Shalom and Salaam. Let Peace prevail in Israel, The time is over due. Shalom or Salaam is a word so frail, A word that; both sides should hail. Both parties should take their cue, And start Peace talks anew. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, Is barbarous and so very uncouth. In this day and age of fear, Peace should allay and bring them near. Religion plays a mighty role, Let the Peoples go to the poll. Decide whether death is worthwhile, More can be achieved by a friendly smile. War was never really a solution, The call for peace a strong resolution. Deaths and bodies maimed for life, In this uncaring bitter strife. The country should act as two, Both the Palestine and the Jew. Tolerance is a wonderful plea, Work both together as it should be. Disarm all aggressors Palestine or Jew, Let peace blossom once again anew. Shalom and Salaam, Both descendants of Abraham. © Bernard Shaw [log in to unmask] http://members.chello.at/bernard.shaw/poetry.html http://www.postpoems.com/members/bern/
