Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

Cool Shabbes

Do you realize 
     it's hip to celebrate 
Shabbat?
   Tonight we gather 
       here 
at the Little Synagogue
   Where sing 
healing songs and 
    paray for peace 
More people should realize 
     that Shabbat is 
           "where it's at"
More people should write 
    poems and songs 
about this weekly day or rest 
 Jewish Renewal 
      can renew the soul 
I am not going to knock 
        other faiths 
But we here at the
    Little synagaogue 
can hold our heds up high!
 The Jewish faith 
     has been functioning 
for the past 6000 or so  years 
Guess there is something to it 
wouldn't you say?
