Short Cruse Poems

   To celebrate Chanukah right
     is all about kindling light

   Restoring the Holy Temple's site
     one cruse of oil burned so bright ... 

   Israel's eternal plight ~
     to merely exist, it ever must fight...

"Who is like unto You, O Lord?"
 The Maccabees' battle cry
   For the sake of God
   They were willing to die 

Their holiday's name is Chanukah
Which is translated as 'dedication'
   The Temple's Lamp's restoration
   with a cruse of pure olive oil
   celebrated by lsrael's nation

No marches or military celebrations
~ Light is what ignites Jewish education...

I have fear in my heart.
This world is ripping me apart.
I'm being judge by the color of my skin.
On the outside I'm standing tall but feeling pain the from within
Can't look away because as an American I'm cruse with pride.
This world is cover with lies but I will never switch sides.
But I won't believe the lies like bush is actually saving lives.
No matter what happens I'm going to live my life....

rain flows from heaven

sufficing all barren fields

creation lives on.

*1Kings 17:14 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.

uncertainty in enough for dout
but when i scream
it lessens the crowd
who listens 
as i try to be heard 
as these
cuts i make 
in another splur
of anger and shame
by my life unchanging
so cold and a girl
who was everyones baby
now is a cruse
she trys to love and it always hurts
for every time she touches a life
they brake her down
with abuse in mind
she's stuck in
a broken life
with a thought of suicide
or a touch of fatal demise...

May the wind be at ewer back. 
May fortunes smile. 
May the goblet bee half empty always full. 
May the cruse of oil never fail.
