Is it not true, ordinary people evolve and
defused:
Judaism, Christianity
and Islam—
Their greatest
decisions uttered in prayer—
I wish I could have
seen Israel (old Palestine)
For one day, as it
actually was, way back then!
See Jerusalem,
without all its tourists…
How impossible it is
to remember that they who
Lived in those
far-off days, were ordinary people—
When I drove through
the Holy Land, Bethlehem
And so many other
places, like Bethlehem
I could see the land
had lost its ancient spirit…
Now it looked more Mickey
Mouse like;
Boxed in, with
rainbow colors— it square buildings:
Looking more like Baltimore,
Seattle, or even
New York City; such a
pity!
