Dilemma of Direction

Shall I follow the clouds

Or shall I follow the sun

                Which will lead me to

                The mountain tops of Palestine

                Within my dilemma I see visions of clouds

                Endlessly hovering over my ancestor’s olive trees

I see my people living in gloom day by day

In an endless hopeless state under the iron fists of the Zionists

                I hear rumors of peace

                A homeland for my people and security for all

                My senses tell me to follow the clouds

                For surely they will lead me to Palestine

My dilemma is compounded

For should I return behind the clouds

                The answer must surely be NO!

                For the clouds will still be forever over Palestine

                But if I should not follow the clouds

                Then how can I follow the sun

What then shall I do

My dilemma grows deeper and deeper

                                Wait! I have it!

I shall lead the sun to Palestine
