Grafted In

As a Sabra trembles in Sderot
As a lily wilts in the valley
That is where I pause to grieve
The basin of indecision
The Holy Land in a coma
As in the days of Noakh
Sirens muffle widows’ sobs
Qassam rockets rain down
Upon archangels sitting shivah
Before the winds are loosed
To judge and uproot
The mournful from the merry
The sheep from the goats
The hour from time
Watch your Salvation
Revealed in My Hand
On that day when
Suddenlies:
A wild Sabra and lily
Grafted into Eytz Ha’Khayim

Bloom again

Remember what Danny Glover did to Whoopi Goldberg in the Color Purple.

And so, when the thought police hunt you down for intolerance in The Land of The Slave and The Aryan House of The Appeasing Coward, you shall burn any memory of revolutionary innovation from your hard drive and revisit the Diary of Anne Frank like a dissident DNA mantra via mobile OyPod.
