A homeland, a mother- and fatherland,

the promised land for children.

I struggle with the following questions:

'Are the words in the Bible and in Al-Qur’an

from the Almighty and are they holy?

Does it prove that what is happening nowadays

is predicted in these books or are we

on the wrong track and unconsciously working

to fulfill the prophecies written by men,

because we once said that they were holy?'

Close all those books and open your eyes,

look in the mirror and say to yourself

I love my own ease,

I am born for peace.
