America's Dark Passage
Into Israel's Hell

Israeli surveillance drones
Above well below where Allah
Is watching the People
Mourn and shout defiance

Israeli assassination attempts
To kill the will of a People
Who have lived since the dawn
Of humanity in this place

The Arab street sees
An American project
Israel is the implement
Of world control

Israel's brutal terror
Ignites a volatile Molotov
A cocktail of smoldering outrage
Aching for martyrdom

From Baghdad to Gaza City
Neo-cons to Sharon
Delight in Occupation's
Savage legacy brought home

A global divide widens
Bondage or liberty
As the gates of hell
Fling open to swallow
The Land of the Free
