Conflict and Fear

Conflict
Raging on ancient soil
  Men with hearts of stone
     blood doth boil
Wherefore is compassion?
Why so much rage?
   Springing forth from another age.

Judgements cast from afar see not clearly
   Eyes clouded by hate
   Demand a solution to problems when refusing to see their own
Glass housed masses casting stones

Desperate people
Angry and confused
Misled and chanting "death to Jews"
   Heartbeats with twangs of fear
For the same slogans heard in a different year heralded great sorrow for so many
We already have sorrows plenty

Dangerous waters we tread upon 
   when people trade with hatred as their weapon

The question not who is wrong or right
Simply put
HOW CAN WE END THIS FIGHT

Children never culpable
  Rockets unacceptable
This is not war nor is it slaughter
   
What is the point?  What is the goal? 
   Does anybody know?
If not then cease and desist 
   Life has more to it than this!  

This isn't about religion
   Although so many see that vision
This is a conflict for ancient land
   Born of conflict and political plan
Look first at self before condemning any
   There's hatred already aplenty

What I don't understand
  When the conversation should be Israel CEASE
Why it became "All Jews Die!" decrees
   This scares me
