Purim
2016
Steven
Wittenberg Gordon
As Terror walks brazenly in the city streets
Its nails shredding our citizens and allies
In a country once known for its sprouts and neutrality
The Haman of our Age learns the Argentine tango
Makes nice with the despot of a failed island nation
Allows the arc of Isis to spread its fractured light
unchecked
Meanwhile in the supreme leader of ironies
In the land once ruled by Ahashverosh and Esther
Evil festers and mass destruction looms
Will another Queen politically correct the Politically Correct
Or will the dark force in the white house shade his eyes
With his version of a tricorn hat and enjoy his legacy of doom
