Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Persia Reborn

     A holiday is coming our way
       when Jew-haters almost carried the day

     The demagogic Persia of 2,500 years ago
        reborn today as Iran we know

     Eerie remembrance of horrors past
        for failure to terror smash

     Would that the heroes of the Purim of old
        inspire us moderns to be as bold

     Esther and Mordechai, rise up again
        another Holocaust to prevent

Michael Tor March 9, 2025 at 8:51 PM Powerful truths my friend you have shared. We will have to keep an eye on them...

Joseph P. DiMino March 9, 2025 at 12:16 PM An abomination!~ what is going on on college canvases. No taxpayer support for any of them. And make them pay back the delinquent student loans! Oh, excellent poetry my friend! Gershon Wolf March 9, 2025 at 7:44 PM Right on, Joe! 100% agreed. The inmates are running the asylums again. (Like in the '60's).

Oliver Mckeithan March 9, 2025 at 5:33 AM Amen to this Gershon. I never thought I would see the day that antisemitism would rear its ugly head in the US. Glad Trump is taking steps to try to quash it but our university system was taken over long ago by radicals and now we are seeing the results. Gershon Wolf March 9, 2025 at 7:46 PM Yep. I saw it coming during my undergrad years (1968-72).

Karen Jones March 8, 2025 at 11:18 PM Powerfully poignant polished with pleasing rhymes! Gershon Wolf March 9, 2025 at 7:47 PM Pleasing, pleasant, response to ponder, Karen. ~ Al Little Rate
