How Many Times Can a Wo/Man Pitch a Tent?

How many times can a person pitch a tent?
Before our PM will take note
Yes and how many times can a young one cry out
'I'm tired of nowhere to live'
Yes and how many stakes will we need to purchase
to hold down the millions of tents?

The answer my friend
is on Rotschild Blvd.
The answer is in
Tel Aviv

How many times can a woman go to
her store and leave without cheese?
yes and how many times can a child go without
his milk for his bowl of krispies
Yes and how many tears will we have to wipe away
Before our salaries cover food?

The answer my friend
is also in Beer Sheva
in Jerusalem, Sderot
and Haifa

How many times must we go to the doc
And learn there's no appointments to be had?
Yes and how many beds can they cram in the corridors,
because there's no room in the wards?
Yes and how many times will we call for a nurse
To find that they're dead on their feet?

The answer my friend
is in Ichilov
but also in Rambam,
and Soroka

How many times will we elect governments
that trample our most basic rights?
How many fat cats must we all support
while we're told to manage with scraps?
How much injustice can one country bear
before it calls out - It's Enough!

The answer my friend
is now throughout this land
The answer is now throughout our land
