A family arrived and said they had papers
to prove that his house was theirs,
-No, no said the man, my people have always lived here
My father, grandfather -and look in the garden,
my great grandfather planted that.
-No, no said the family, look at the documents.
There was a stack of them
-Where do I start? said the man,
-No need to read the beginning they said,
Turn to the page marked 'Promised Land'.
-Are they legal? he said, who wrote them?
-God, they said, God wrote them, look,
here come His tanks.

God's walls are being constructed nowadays. It's called "border". What are you going to do with that promised land anyway? Is this world that small? If the region is "promised", so is the earth! I wouldn't be happy, if some alien attacks were started to invade our promised Earth!
