Judaism
The Mitzvah—God blesses every good deed
Thousands of years old
God Yahweh made a covenant with Abraham 
that if Abraham and his people the Hebrews 
Obey Him, 
He'd consider 'em,
His chosen people, watch over 'em
God sent the Hebrew to kill their enemies 
sparing not man, woman, child 
or even the suckling babe
On the other hand,
God said He

Seed of God

The Seed of God

First there was only the void,
A deep well of nothing. 
And it came to pass that deep within the void, there was a great explosion, 
And that explosion was a primal scream. 
The scream was without sense and thought.
The scream was not chosen because there was no choice.
The scream was existence itself.

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry

Beloved David

From the beloved king and harp player
Whose name reigns as the ancient sword
That slayed the head of Goliath 

This name is sung across the wide world
A Hebrew jewel, the cornerstone of Europe
A crown of nobility and sword of the underdog 

King of the small kingdom that would birth the sun
Writer of psalms guided by wisdom

What Faith

Jewish, Hindu, ,Catholic, C of E,
Muslim, Pagan, Sikh, which should I be.

If it's a matter of faith I don't really care,
It's whichever brings me comfort as I sit in my chair.

All of them aim to do nothing but good,
So I'll take a mixture and just live as I should.

Dear Cousin,

You gave away everything.
You did, didn’t you? 
You didn’t choose, you had to. 
Beaten, broken, smashed, thrashed. 
Mind and body, even soul. 
They took your name, I never got it. 
Did you even have one?
Were you even real?
Six million is too large to know. 
The loved ones I’ve had have been enough. 
I never missed

The Semien Kingdom

the Semienite kings erected stelae
to the kingdom of the wrestling with God;
Ethiopian hinterlands ruled with the iron fist of Judea, 
the flag of Magen David swaying in Abyssinian winds.

Judit?battle-hungry commander of war,
panzer-woman of Scriptural Armageddon!

the queen casts her leather noose
and steers the forces of Beta Israel
into a battle of redemption and of honor
conducted in a

The Prism

blaming Islam for terrorism
like
blaming Christianity for colonialism
like
blaming Judaism for zionism

laughing the one eye of the prism
hovering slowly over the throne, the capstone
on wings of isms and shizms dividing and conquering all the way home
no eyes to be trusted anymore, but I'm sure you can feel it to the bone

look around, this playground, this land, we

Judaism and Christianity

The two religions 
have some things in common 
They differ about the Messiah issue 
Christians think that Jesus was the Messiah 
Jews deny this 
Both religions all upon one to lead an upright life
Not so easy to do!
but we all must try 
Try to avoid hatred and take 
care of the ill and the hungry
