Porcine aviation...(diminishing challenge)
And so the cease-fire, but can it end their desire?
The Arab States hold their bated breath
On the Jordans Banks they still speak of death
A war that's been fought four thousand years
The Jordan still flows, a river of tears
To wash out the blood that fell on those sands
As the cheats and the liars warmly shook hands
The world claps with joy to herald new dawns
When the old history buries its head
Praise the survivors, they're no more than pawns
Negotiations fall deaf on the dead
If we look hard then hope can be found
And together the middle east will find peace
All nations must gather to find common ground
So the killing and destruction will cease

Quite prophetic here. “Negotiations fall deaf on the dead” is such an exquisite line of poetic truth.
