A Jew

A Jew I cannot help that I am a Jew It never mattered so before Angry hearts and persecution led to the horrors of bitter war As stars are killed and burned and buried, the whole world turns blind eyes To the horrors going on behind enemy lines Why do they hate us so? One cannot help but wonder Jews did nothing wrong, why is it our lives they squander? I will not change that I am a Jew Not for all the freedom in the world For here, as a writer, I represent every Jew; man, woman, boy, and girl Injustice to prisoners of peaceful choices Pain to those whose God is love The weak are strong and murdered nightly, all in hatred they’re turned to dust Prayers are letters given carefully to the angels to take above That God might read them and hear the Jews calling out for freedom So reader, if you hate me, hate me freely. I’ve been hated, mocked and scorned Who knows what, as a Jew, I will have to endure? No demon, man or devil sent, will change my heart from God I am, and will always, be a Jew A Jew full of love
