The Last Jew On Earth

After Armageddon 
   comes forth 
The last Jew on Earth 
will proclaim his existence 
amidst the smoking 
   ruins 
He carries forth his 
    ancient faith 
in spite of the 
   massive destruction
The last Jew on Earth 
knows that the world 
    he once knew 
  was gone forever
Yet his faith has 
   not 
   disintegrated 
Amidst the smoking rubble 
    he survivors 
And we hope and pray 
   that he will find what he is looking for 
For man's fate lies in the balance

Hi, Matt, yes that word that you had to look up. I never heard it before either. Those contests are sometimes a learning experience for many of us!!

Is this a part of what the Jewish are taught or is this your creative thoughts on it? Maybe it will be YOU!!! (probably the end is nearing)
