Poway Ca Passover Heartbreak
Poway, California~Passover Heartbreak
4/27/2019
I spent most yesterday in agony.
Thinking of the hideous attack in Poway.
A wonderful spring morning, Jews quietly
intent to complete this last day of
Passover at their synagogue
How did they know, it would be a day full
of fears, tears and lament.
And, outstanding human compassion.
America needs to fully understand, you
cannot stop a madman with a gun with
words.
You, yourself, your husband and children may all perish!
As you were brainwashed into thinking
owning a gun is an evil thing.
When lives are on the line, you may
die, don't you get it?
Thank God a Border Patrol agent was at
the Tree of Life Service!
Thank God even more so, he had a gun,
Was able to take on the shooter who
ran like a coward.
The Rabbi, shot in his hand, had to have
fingers amputated,
To which a woman responded to me,
" That's no big thing! "
Is this what America has really shrunk
down to..so heartless and cold?
Many of you up in years understand
clearly, this is statement brazenly bold.
A Chabad woman with no gun, bravely
stood in front of the Rabbi to save his life.
It cost this outstanding woman her very
own life.
Which of us would perform such an act?
A deed so spiritual with so huge an impact?
The killer is detained, we all feel safe?
We forgot Sri Lanka, a week ago?
Of course, we did!
Christians and Jews are all in danger.
America needs to rise up and defend its
own schools, churches, synagogues and
homes and peoples.
The lesson from the Third Reich and
Hitler hauntingly remains....
The guns from the Jews were all taken.
Once the government owns all guns, we
are all forsaken.
The Holocaust ensued, millions perished.
Who thinks "Never Again"is impossible,
Better think again.
With heartfelt sympathy to the Jewish
community in Israel and the Diaspora.
