Castles In the Sand

~ An Allegory for the Holy Temple ~ Let me take you by the hand and guide you through my box of sand It was to be my Promised Land 'til things worked out not quite as planned My good friends I disrespected So how could I have expected to build dream castles in the sand when for my conduct I was banned I know that I'll return some day No magic wand I need to wave As long as I do not do to others ~ what I don't like, we'll all be brothers

Great write, Gershon. We do have to see ourselves in the light of good for others to see us the same, and by treating them with respect.

Without basic respect and decency, civilization is bulldozed by the next group of Huns. (Can you say 'Chinese' fast three times?!). Thanks, Eve.
