David - Sieges Even

Back in the days of doubt and dissension, from the soil Palestinias

A wandering began, mathless in the annals of history and time

Exiled and expeled, trapped in the walls of Babylon — only a leg on their way

A consequence unheard-of, dispersion and pursuance for no rational cause

Symbol of confession — held in contempt

An endless voyage through time

Prejudice, unreason — a contagious seed

Today we shake our heads, can’t comprehend

In medieval times the Christian church made itself a part of the crime

Conversion and judgement in blind infallibility executed upon the jews

Bigotry and prejudice are persisting and basic characters of man

As essential feature not to accept dissenters, it’s so easy to judge

But at nightfall of civilisation, when reason fell and Fascism prevailed

A 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 David

Remind unsound doctrines of an Aryan race, the concentration camps,

the relentless exodus

Some 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?
