When in that chamber of Jerusalem
\nWhere Jews with Arabs read the works of Will,
\nHow often I have wished to speak with them
\nAbout why peace eludes some nations still:
\nWhy West revives the spirit of Versailles,
\nWhich triggered Hitler\u2019s psychopathic state;
\nLets victims\u2019 awesome heirs here occupy
\nTheir scapegoats\u2019 lives, and vengefulness create.
\nYet hope I must, for Shakespeare makes it clear \u2013
\nAs does Hillel\u2019s or Yeshu\u2019s Golden Rule \u2013
\nThat empathy, if just, can heal a Lear
\nAnd stop a wounded soul from being cruel.
\n++<\/span>Though Henry Fourth\u2019s crusade he rightly banned,
\n++<\/span>The Bard himself has reached the Holy Land.<\/p>\n
