Benjamin Disraeli

For you there was new epoch
beyond the synagogue
when in religious solemnity
you converted to Christianity.

You wanted to support
King and the Church 
but you were also open
for political change.

Your trophy was not only
in your political philosophy 
equal with propaganda
and your satires

on profligate oligarchy,
sectarianism, collusion,
of the Ministers
and their illustrious illusion.
