Listen to poem:

Paying the Ferryman

With so many innocent lambs in this world, 
        it makes it so easy for the wolves to devour

All the Paschal lambs blinded to their part, 
        of the Pesach L’Atid Lavoh in their final hour

If there is anything in this world I have learnt,
              is we take innocence to feed an evil God

Under the pretence we will all be free,
     and under God’s banner, we will not be forgot
