Anti-Semitism

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS

 

Anti-Semitism

 

Netanyahu is a jew

But all jews are not Netanyahu

To believe that this is true

Is very old and nothing new

 

To oppose a government is just

When the government is out of line

We have run out of all trust

In a leader who seems blind

 

To the needs of his nation

While he prosecutes his war

He has sacrificed his salvation

To his desire to settle scores

 

Yet the people can’t be blamed

For the crimes of just one man

For that would be a shame

And a failure to understand

 

You can’t blame the entire group

For the sake of Palestine

That would be an endless loop

In the name of the divine

 

Discrimination is wrong

In every form it takes

Recrimination won’t be long

The forsaken will forsake
