OLD MAN MOSES - SCOTLAND RISES Old man Moses sat upon his rock; contemplating, his woes Moses ails but a vision of a land to his sons and daughters Born not to settle for their history as more than transpose Exiled from Israel thus travelled by shore and sailed waters Moses ails but a vision of a land to his sons and daughters He; a descendant of Joseph and, his coat, of many colours Exiled from Israel thus travelled by shore and sailed waters North, South, East, and West expelled by other controllers He; a descendant of Joseph; and, his coat of many colours His sons and daughters arrived on new shores as refugees North, South, East, and West expelled by other controllers Arriving on Scottish soil then to become part of it deputies His sons and daughters arrive; on new shores as refugees Passing through other nations; either as free or by slavery Arriving on Scottish soil then to become part of it deputies As though looked upon by Scotland; as life’s none savoury Passing through other nations; either as free or by slavery Both strains of Jews, one true, the other of European days As though looked upon by Scotland; as life’s none savoury As separate by blood; as each different to each other ways Both strains of Jews, one true, the other of European days Resiled; to no such fairer country of such beauty to behold As separate by blood as each different, to each other ways Old man Moses sons and daughters tribal history to unfold Resiled; to no such fairer country of such beauty to behold Fought nay' on blood, but peaceful endeavours of intellects Old man Moses sons and daughters tribal history to unfold To now their truth upon Scottish land which truly interjects Fought nay' on blood, but peaceful endeavours of intellects Nay' old man Moses; your dreams nothing more than strife To now their truth upon Scottish land which truly interjects Then to become as one with Scottish soil; as part of its life Nay' old man Moses; your dreams nothing more than strife No fairer lands, less worthy of your blood as Scotland rises Then to become as one with Scottish soil; as part of its life To their movement to Scottish soils; as amongst the wises No fairer lands; less worthy of your blood as Scotland rises Born not to settle for their history as more than transpose To their movement to Scottish soils; as amongst the wises Old man Mose's sat upon his rock; contemplating, his woes Indiana Shaw . . . "There is a mix of European and Middle Eastern Jews residing in Scotland, the Ashkenazi European Jews; then, and, as of today are looked upon as the unsavoury" . . .
