FIRST THERE WAS GOD
a deceiver of human beings
he should have
saved my brother
who died one year after we came to Jerusalem.
I was young then, I didn't know, that's
what god does best.
Then the people they deceive me every day
they promise, they propose
and they never deliver
and I
almost 30 years later
still don't understand what
they want.
The land of milk and honey
is hot in the summer
so hot my kidneys can't handle it
and 3 months a year I am a
desperate man
unable to do anything.
I was a man of mild weather.
The sea is too hot all summer long
I can only dream of my cold water
and there are the wars, the killings
the discrimination in every step I swallow
and behind it always
people screaming, cars and buses
making too much noise
just way too much noise.
