Eleven senselessly slaughtered in a synogague in Pittsburgh this week...

Scorn from the Left Hate on the Right Anti-Semitism Dark as Night The shots rang out The worshipers fell Hate's prayer answered By a Devil from hell Pittsburgh was tragic But its lone death knell Doesn't compare To life in Israel Where 24/7 It's bombs away Innocent civilians Terrorism's prey Hate on the Left Scorn from the Right Anti-Semitism Humanity's Blight

Your verses are as potent as they poignant, my dear friend. I will never understand the perpetuation of hate and my heart aches for its victims. Powerful and pointed penning, Gershon. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

Violence is coming at us from all angles, such a sad hateful world we live in today. Tom.

Potent penning. We are not well as a civilization. "The world is wild at heart and weird on top." Hugs my friend. xomo

Well-put, i.e., that 'we are not well.' That about sums things up. Thank you for your observation, my dear friend. :) gw
