a Jewish child is born today
his ecstatic family surrounds him
love blooms from all four corners of the room
despite all this the baby is crying a heartfelt and piercing cry
some say the world shocks the infant
or maybe he is simply famished
a frightening nightmare inside the whom perhaps
is he already longing for attention?
i like to broaden my mind a bit
see it from another perspective
a more gruesome
yet fairytale like angle
you see there is mass of hungry beasts out there
just waiting to rip apart the innocent flesh of a Jew
they live off our blood
they long for our termination
does their hatred stem from jealousy?
or are they envious of
our morals?
our depth?
i see a baby of Israel crying
and then i see a land of tears
tears so thick of grief
too impenetrable for the blade of the enemy
to slice through its salty core
can this little Israelite possibly know
what is yet to come for his people?
when the infants pitch is to much to bear
it is then handed over to its nurturing mother
she hushes the baby
the child bearer speaks to him in his own dialect
soothing words calm the new joy in her life
he doses of into a deep slumber
he forgets about the dark future ahead
about the madness of what is yet to come
the baby forgets
but the mother remembers her child’s lament
perhaps it is for that reason
that the final redemption of our people
will be in the merit of the righteous women of Israel
because we remember
understand
feel
and pray
for all Semites.
the hush will come
we just have to wake up in order to live the dream
of a life without the masochistic enemy
a life with only Him
