Unprovoked my foot!
But they exist
And the mere fact they live
Is to resist.
This land is ours
It is not theirs,
They should respect the fact
We allow them to share.
Unprovoked!
What are you talkin’ ‘bout?
That this land belongs to us
Should never be in doubt.
Reestablished
Seventy-seven years ago
We rightfully reclaimed our land
And all of you know.
They are a menace,
That’s how squatters behave
And we give them two options:
Get out or the grave.
Sorry about the women
And the children too
But they are collateral damage;
We’ve had a few.
Blame their terrorists
Who use them as shields
But we must do what we must do
To meet our needs.
We had been uprooted
From our own land
And we eventually came back
As was the plan.
And now we are back
We are not leaving again,
So, intruders had better beware,
You are in for pain.
Everyone has an opinion,
Everyone has a view
But we know what’s best for us
And for you.
Leave on your feet
Or be there interred,
This is a hugely critical matter
That cannot be deferred.
We were good to you
But you bit our hand,
To take over the entire settlement
Was your plan.
But it has failed
As you can plainly see,
Leave with the little you have
And let us be.
This land is our land,
It was never yours
Though for a long while back
We left it by force.
Unprovoked my foot!
We have taken it back
And we aim to keep it forever
And that’s a fact.
