Against Their Lies

Against their lies I am largely inarticulate- They lie all the time About everything- Their culture is a culture That has no respect for objective truth They have convinced the world with their lies ‘There never was a Temple in Jerusalem ‘Jesus was not a Jew’ ‘The Jews never had a place in the Holy Land’ ‘The Jews started the wars and never want Peace ‘The Jews took away the state they had here’ ‘The Jews have no historical relation to the Holy Land’ ‘ The Jews are simply cruel to them’ They lie and make themselves innocent victims When they are most often guilty even as victims Victims who try to terrorize stab blow up burn murder Jews In any way they can They have made us more hated in the world They continue to lie And those who want to believe them Who often dislike or even hate us for different reasons Are glad to adopt and spread their lies They lie and often succeed in their lying And we stutter the truth when simple or most often more complex As I stutter out my lines of rightful complaint now.
