It began as a promise
Between God and Man
A thousand stars
And grains of sand
The promise grew
From that older womb
A nation from twelve
That grew and grew
Through generations
They have stayed strong
And spread the world over
As a mighty song
And through it all
They have fought to exist
A proud nation
To live, they resist
Resist those who want
To wipe them out
But they keep fighting
They have no doubt
To be a voice
Stand strong and proud
Wherever they live
They must shout out loud
“You can’t destroy us
Not matter how hard
You continue to try
To bring us Jihad
We’ll fight through our
Voices and silent the throng
Of all those who kill us
We say it’s so wrong”
And now the worst
Is happening again
We must stop it
Can’t happen again
Antisemitism
Grows thick and fast
Can we not see
It’s repeating the past?
It’s time for all of us
To get off the couch
Your voices are needed
So very much
Never again can this happen
For almost 80 years, we’ve cried
It’s time to stop the hate
It’s time to turn the tide
To unity and love
It’s time ALL make the vow
With passion, we yell out
NEVER again is NOW
About the Creator

Just one of many creative outlets for me has been books! My whole life I’ve loved them and it’s so easy to make the jump to writing.
Recently I completed a poetry challenge and now, looking for more excuses to write, I’ve found myself here!
