Always two sides
Always two sides
Both sides
Both sides
Both sides
Both sides
Don’t fight
Don’t fight
Never black and white
Never black and white
Forget: don’t you dare!
Good and bad people everywhere
Both sides
Both sides
Good and bad people on both sides
Never forget
Never forget
Never forget
Good and bad people on both sides
Good and bad people on both sides
Complicated
Complex
Conflict
Civilian deaths on both sides
Civilian deaths on both sides
Looking each other in the eye
Talking to each other
Forgiveness
Atonement
Reconciliation
Moving forward
Peace
Peace
Peace’s call
Finally peace in the region for all
For every man
woman, child, sister and brother
Let’s all
just get along and understand one other
Standing together
No need for retribution
Two-state solution
(The ultimate absolution)
A just peace
A just peace
A just peace
Just peace
Just peace
Peace doves
Peace doves
Love peace
Love peace
Hand in hand
For peace across the land
Minds and hearts harmonising
No more demonising
Burying the hatchet
What’s broken we’ll put a patch on
Breaking the silence
through non-violence
War solves nothing
Terror is the worst thing
Leave the darkness of night
and walk into the light
No more fighting
Love and understanding
together
forever
No hate
No hate
No hate
No hate
Hate hate
Hate hate
Peaceful co-existence
Itself and act of resistance
Non-violent communication
For the good of the entire nation
Build bridges
Not walls
Said every
clueless
know-it-all
closeted
latent
racist
wannabe pacifist
unannounced zye-oh-nest
de facto white supremacist
joo-day-oh-christian-washing
hoe-lee-land-fetishizing
kumbaya-ing
privileged settler-colonial empire apologist
who wouldn’t know injustice
if it came up and bit them
who’s never been
an oppressor’s dehumanised victim
and who doesn’t even cop that they’re part of the system
That’s what they say
and have always said
All of them
living and dead
who live down the street
without skipping a beat
on repeat
