Steel erected to protect
\nIs what they claim
\nOffends all sensitivities
\nLet us explain
\nWhat others call piseogs
\nWe call respect
\nFor the beliefs of the dead
\nWhose resting place they have wrecked.<\/p>\n
If a Moslem at Christmas
\nDone to Calvary
\nWhat is done at the Mound of the Hostages
\nWhat protests would we see?
\nWhat we ask of others
\nTo be done to our own
\nWe to that of others
\nSimilar respect should be shown.<\/p>\n
Give to nature, of nature
\nAnd if must work, choose a time
\nTo wait is a virtue
\nTo consult not a crime.
\nThose who object are not awkward
\nThey just ask to reflect
\nOn all that we do before we do
\nAnd show a little respect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
