Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Let Him Come This Minute

  
       War engulfs the planet
          Terror ever on the rise
       Dead bodies fill morgues to overflow
          Evidence no government can hide 

       Entire neighborhoods decimated
          Residents shiver underground
       Children can’t be comforted
          Screaming at every missile come round

       Nowhere safe anymore  
          If nor terror or war 
       Then waves of criminal beatdowns and horror

       Jealousy, lust, hatred, all at fever pitch
          Dangerous to be good-looking or rich 

        The world’s on shaky legs
           as the pious among us sit and beg 

         for the Redeemer, the Messiah – 
           --whomever he may be

         All of us, fed up with waiting
            Centuries of vain anticipating

         If he really exists, let him come this minute
            to repair the world and everything in it
