The Man in the Quest of True Knowledge

The Man in the Quest of True Knowledge
“The man in the quest of true knowledge is sharper than a sword and wiser than the pen that holds sacred the ink that flows from it” Whalid Safodien

"The Last Testament of Zion":


 

"The Last Testament of Zion":

 

In blood-stained altars, your legacy's born

A monument to tears, a testament to scorn

The desert sands remember every grain

The stones keep count, the whispers remain

 

The Prophecy of Bones

 

You thought the desert would forget?

That blood sinks silently into sand?

Every grain remembers, every stone keeps count

The land you stole still whispers the names of those who loved it first

 

The Mirror of Pharaoh

 

Your reflection stares back from Gaza's flames

A tyrant's grasp, an empire's fatal claims

The reeds you clutch will drown you in the sea

Moses weeps at what you've done with his stolen legacy

 

The Alchemy of Lies

 

Gold turned to bullets, sacred texts to steel

Menorahs morphed into missiles, stars that reveal

A covenant broken, a promised land defiled

Your sacred symbols now instruments of violence and trial

 

The Children's Chorus

 

Beneath the rubble, a choir of young voices sings

Your requiem, a lament for the future's wings

"We were the future you detonated, our dreams lost in the blast"

Their lullabies will haunt you long after the last bomb falls at last

 

The Final Solution

 

No need for cattle cars, you've built your own ghettos high

Became what you feared, turned victims into executioners' cry

History's cruelest joke, the oppressed make bitter oppressors' stride

A legacy of pain, a future denied

 

The Third Temple

 

Your shrine is built with skulls, sanctuary lit by fire's glow

Altars running red with innocent blood's flow

When archaeologists dig you up, they'll weep at such small gods

Worshipped with such vast evil, a legacy that's lost its way

 

The Coming Storm

 

The wind whispers justice, the tide brings retribution's call

The earth rejects you, your foundations crumbling, falling

When your last defender falls, Palestine will rise

From the ruins you made, and dance upon your grave with tears that dry

 

The Verdict

 

You'll hang by your own rope, drown in your own blood's stain

Burn in your own fire, a legacy of pain

The world will turn the page, write your epitaph with sorrow

"Here lies a warning to all who trade souls for stolen soil's hollow"
