what happens
if israel gives up
its identification as
God’s chosen
warrior
& imagines
itself a
thankful &
appreciative
guest in the
middle east?
& if amerika
drops all delusions of
#1 domination &
its hegemony
habit
to nurture the
people of this only
earth?
& if the arabs are able
to give up all
hope except for
fairness &
dignity?
then animals
& plants & oceans &
mountains may
return to well-
being
& God will
smile down at us
like the sun
in peace.
