shimon weinroth - To Market to Market

2014-11-07 5

we've been to Madrid and Oslo
and Camp David too,
now on our way to Annapolis
to find the wizard of peace
while rockets whiz over
and airplanes target

we are off to market
to barter land for peace
to market to market to
buy the fat pig and soft story

with a pocket full of hope
euphoria of dope
and a lot of wishful thinking
a pig on a spit turning over and over
a ham well done and fit to eat
alas not kosher to both
Arab and Jew

perhaps neither is peace
for both me and you
and anyway, maybe
it's too late
the plaet is doomed
and polluted

we are all Polar Bears
floating south
too full of hate and guile
to make peace and smile
