RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: ISRAEL AT WAR
Pariah (for the people of Israel)
Remember the cry of Jeremiah
Who prophesied a cruel fate
You would become a pariah
For the sins of the Israeli state
You are descendant of Jedidiah
Who turned against the north
Who then became his own pariah
Whose cruelty called forth
The end of days for humankind
A legacy of blood and war
The prophecies will fall in line
As the Beast of Yafo roars
It’s time to hear that cry again
To heed that warning call
Repent for cruel and callous sins
Or the state of Israel will fall
No one wants to see that fall
Or to hear the angels moan
The crumbling of the ancient wall
When Israel stands alone
