The Gentile Land

To see my point, read the Bible Unearthed by Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman (check the summary in: http://dir.salon.com/books/feature/2001/02/07/solomon/index.html)

I know .. I know,

I heard that brag before,

I researched the fabricated books.



I germinated from the soil of this land

before

the story tellers come to tell their stories.



cultivated and watered my land

With my sweat when the rain failed to fall.

Epochs later, they were feeding from my orchards

soon after, they claimed my land

based upon a promise from a mist in the sky

During a narcissistic dream.



I wasn't born to fill full my guests dreams

yet I die for my rights.



Now since they failed to humanize

Why don't they take their racial god,

their hell and heaven,

their holy pride,

and leave me my gentile land.

And shall remember to drag that wailing wall

For I wail where I suffer.
