Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Something Novel

  Iran seized 66 American hostages in 1979
    held 52 for more than a year
  The pressure on Jimmy Carter was too much to bear

  So, the President attempted a rescue mission
    though it failed, he just couldn’t do nothing  
  Yet on the day of 'Dutch' Reagan’s inauguration
    Iran released all 52, because RR did ‘something’  

  That ‘novel something’ that Ronnie R. did
    He talked tough, didn’t blink an eyelid
  Today, Joe Biden gives away billions to the mullahs
    like Santa Claus, he’s such a ‘jolly good fella’…

  And where is the outcry today
    for the 20 Americans still in harm’s way
  Seems Americans have taken a shine to Hamas*
    for which the hostages and their families
                                                   are at quite a loss

Kim Rodrigues November 18, 2023 at 5:45 PM There is a difference indeed when the tough stand up. Still the powers certainly stand with their kin and make sure they back them up sins and all. We can be assured that God sees and though He is merciful, He will also take vengeance. Gershon Wolf November 18, 2023 at 7:50 PM God needs us to do our job here too. As the saying goes: Heaven helps those who help themselves.

Bill Baker November 17, 2023 at 9:33 PM Your words are true, my friend, no one respect weakness in leadership. Thanks for sharing the parallels of past and present weakness in leadership of our country, Gershon. Have a pleasant weekend. Bill Gershon Wolf November 18, 2023 at 7:52 PM That's right, my friend. No one respects weakness in leadership. Biden, Blinken, Harris, Kerry, et al. have got to go asap. Why let the leaders of the axis of evil keep licking their lips?

Bj Legros Kelley November 17, 2023 at 9:14 PM Prophecies are coming to pass very, very quickly. The nation of Israel became a nation again, after nearly 2000 years, wow! Whoever heard of such a thing?! I was reading Isaiah 66 just a little while ago. God's word will prevail. Be blessed Gershon.

Joseph P. DiMino November 17, 2023 at 8:22 PM It's was predictable. I fear for Israel -- it needs US support if to survive. Well said, Gershon. Joseph P. DiMino November 18, 2023 at 8:23 PM I don't think that our present administration cares if America survives...voting them out may be near impossible. The loudmouths get the press, but the overwhelming majority of Americans rightfully support Israel. Gershon Wolf November 18, 2023 at 7:53 PM I just hope that the U.S.A. realizes that it needs Israel if America is to survive. Think about that for a moment...
