David

Back in the days of doubt and dissension, from the soil PalestiniasA wandering began, mathless in the annals of history and timeExiled and expeled, trapped in the walls of Babylon - only a leg on their wayA consequence unheard-of, dispersion and pursuance for no rational causeSymbol of confession - held in contemptAn endless voyage through timePrejudice, unreason - a contagious seedToday we shake our heads, can't comprehendIn medieval times the Christian church made itself a part of the crimeConversion and judgement in blind infallibility executed upon the jewsBigotry and prejudice are persisting and basic characters of manAs essential feature not to accept dissenters, it's so easy to judgeBut at nightfall of civilisation, when reason fell and Fascism prevailedA malpractice tarnished the world, rendered by a subservient mass!Accustomed to misuse and fear, we're looking back - insensibly!What happened then won't happen anew, close your eyes in arrogance and simply forget!So much injustice and grief done unto the star of DavidRemind unsound doctrines of an Aryan race, the concentration camps, the relentless exodusSome folks say it will never come again, are they oblivious? Full of unconcern?So look Pretoria and the fascist-like regime - will man ever listen to reason?
