Listen to poem:

With so many innocent lambs in this world, 
        it makes it so easy for the wolves to devour

All the Paschal lambs blinded to their part, 
        of the Pesach L’Atid Lavoh in their final hour

If there is anything in this world I have learnt,
              is we take innocence to feed an evil God

Passover at Sunset Friday

"Chag Pesach Sameach "

To all my Jewish friends:
May the joy of your Seder meal
never end!
And your Tradition of the Haggadah,
Last to the world without end!
The wine, the special foods, the songs
and washing of hands.
The lighting of the candles to begin
your meal
May Israel remain forever n G_d's hands.
That no nation can steal!

"Next year, in Jerusalem"

With my love for Israel and Judaism,
Panagiota Romios

Or possibly, a ham
With lots of homemade goodies
For desserts for all to cram.

I don’t know what the Easter people
Drink, but in New York,
We Pesach* folk drink Manischewitz,
Wine without a cork.
