Shoeless Wanderers of Heaven

N ever again will the Tribes of Israel be the sacrificial lamb of man.
A nnealed in furnaces of man, not in Olam HaEmet by the Almighty in "the World of Truth."
Z ealots rose from the ashes of the ovens and now defend like Sicarii of old.
I srael blooms and grows in the desert, returned by Allied Forces to the cauldron.
H ome to the Holy Land, they were sent, shipped, caste surrounded by Arab foe, isolated. 
O vens melted their hearts, striped their forms for their souls held no intrinsic value.
L ampshades and shoes were made from their skin, jewelry from the gold in their teeth.
O rders given by The Third Reich were obeyed without conscious. The herd was culled.
C hrist-killer the Christian mind said, devil worshiper, their deaths were acceptable.
A nti-Semitism always has been and always will be a threat to Jews everywhere.
U nited, Jews must form a majority population in Israel so Jews everywhere feel safe.
S anctuary will never again being denied Israel will be safe haven from religious persecution.
T o a future where all men have intrinsic worth regardless of race, creed or religion, pray.

Deb., Your poem is passionate about the horrors and atrocities inflicted not only on Jews, but on Jehovah's Witnesses, Communists, French children in an orphanage and the list goes on. You are forward thinking. We need safe havens in the world. Freedom is fragile as long as there are men who are willing to sacrifice anything...including human survival, in exchange for power. It happened in Germany not so long ago. We must be alert and resist lost freedoms. EG a Bill => no home grown food.

Great use of Acrostic, dear Deborah. As I was reading it my mind went back to that heartbreaking movie "Life Is Beautiful" ( La Vita e Bella) with Roberto Benigni. Did you see it? I hope you did ... Love, Iolanda
