Deny me hope- arm me with anger. Jim McIntosh 2013. Deny me hope- arm me with anger Just another rocket coming down Deny me safety- place me in danger Just another war coming around. Instead of rainbows colouring our blue skies Rocket trails criss-cross our lines You spell God YHWH - I spell God Allah Your God is the same God as mine You see through blue eyes - I see through brown eyes You see the same world as I But from our shelters, we see no sunshine Without hope were both just wasting time. I have a rocket - you have an airplane Is this land yours or is it mine? You have a bulldozer - I have a landmine there are some whod love to see us die You have Merkava - I have the Kornet Without love your child is as dead as mine. There is a sandstorm raging with these desert winds threatening to blanket all with sand Where is the rain cloud to settle this sandstorm bringing rain upon this thirsty land? You bring the water, Ill plant the tall trees Without hate we both could share their shade. Lets pray for both sides. The last lines lack of rhyme sure doesnt make sense... but neither does the current conflict. On my Facebook page two friends were firing verbal salvoes at each other on a post I had made about the conflict. At the same time in my workshop Ray Wylie Hubbard was quietly crooning a song that has always fascinated me. He sings of conflicting elements bound together but ready to break if love cannot hold them together. You are a rainbow spread across the blue sky the sunrise is your next of kin I am am like a whirlwind roaring across the desert the kind some hope to never see again You are a rainbow, I am a whirlwind without love, were both just wasting time. While listening I began to write down the words above about the conflict. I have no wish to plagiarise Ray Wylie Hubbards awesome words. He inspired the style and I have borrowed a line from him.
