ISRAEL IS A BOWL OF WATER

Israel might be a bowl filled with water.
The religions which have come there are big, bright, colorful marbles.
They arrive with much splashing, and after they enter society they remain distinct.
They do not disappear, staying as visible and discrete entities.
While the water stays clear.

If India were a bowl, likewise filled with water, things could be described differently,.
The religions that entered India are colorful. yes, but colorful salts and colorful sugars.
They become part of the water, changing the water without remaining discrete entities.
The water takes on a hue, and both sweet and salty, a mixture.
The religions of Israel don't want to mix; the religions of India can't help it.
