Igor Goldkind Poet Blank verse

So You Think You'Re Going To Shoot Me

So You Think You're Going to Shoot Me?

I got news for you goyim, ?You've been shooting at me for 900 years
?From arrows to bullets to canon and you still haven't hit me.
?Because I am no Other than you.
How can I replace you when I am you?
Open your eyes, you are aiming your gun at yourself.

You don't get it.
This must be the trick of the devils' twisted tongue, right?
The one that tries to deceive you 
With the facts of truth 
Poured from the grail of reason.?Go on, take a drink:

Since you’ve been taught to despise and kill people you don’t even know.

No, you can't shoot me, you can't even aim.
Your hatred is so predictably boring, 
Always looking  for someone else to blame
For your failure as a human being.
Anyone should do, 
Just like a bad movie cliche, you pick the Jew.
You’ve been taught to hate people you don’t even know

How can you shoot me,
When most of us are already dead?
Replaced, misplaced, driven from your nations’ borders.?Baked in your ovens.
Never even pausing 
To wonder what the difference even was.

Now we have nations, guns and missiles ?and
Our own black-booted armies to protect us from bad shots like you.
To protect us from everyone but ourselves.
Now we can sip from the same blooded cup,
While hating and then shooting, 
All of the Other Jews.

Kim Rodrigues May 1, 2019 at 9:48 PM Anger and courage in this one on the remembrance day of the Holocaust. So personal to you...I stand with you to listen, hand you a handkerchief, a shoulder, anything you need, my friend. Let hate come to its bitter end... May God bless you.
