Oh Ishmael, Oh Isaac – v2

what have we done
Oh Ishmael, Oh Isaac
two sons of Abraham
still warring in the Gulf

Praying to God, to Allah,
Judeo-Christian or Muslim
though of different mothers
the same under the skin

Brothers of our one father,
chosen, from the world,
the seed for many nations
fratricide of the Word.
