Silence On Shabbos



                         11/4/2023
    ~~Be quiet now, stir not a single soul~~


Though your hot tears fall hard as boulders,
We are deaf, we give you the coldest shoulder.

Your screams for humanity and justice, we don’t care.
We cover our faces, are out to march,you had best beware!

Of felonious climate change, yes, do write of and sing.
But of actual violence,don’t you even dare say one thing!

Were you under an allusion,that you had no enemies here?
Wake up…we slew you long ago, too bad, you just didn’t hear!

The wokeness need to stop. Enough is enough! We need to be intelligent adults. Creativity and communication is a blessing.

Shalom aleichem, Elena. We do not live in the USSR, however, seems we live in a time where free speech is in lockdown. Oppression in everywhere when it comes to truth. Writers have the ability to break through this at sites that permit freedom. We can be joyful for this And serve HaShem not man..hiding the truth? Ridiculous as trying to hide the sun! Shabbos Blessings on you and all who speak truth. Panagiota
