Old deceptions
Whisper and roar across generations and milliseconds;
Invisibly thread through heritage and culture;
Shrewdly justify judgments and convictions;
Subtly inform addictions and missions.
Rabbi of lies spins intricate narrative so visceral;
How can reality bear out anything else?
Words of life
Subversively battle power with enduring love and self-sacrifice;
Delicately woo from compulsive ruts with created beauty and reflected glory;
Gently conquer shame and contempt with grace and mercy;
Humbly presents mission of hope and reconciliation.
True rabbi offers gospel so compassionately present;
Where else can I turn?
Hmm. Just what I was thinking.
