He was a Jew
After attending a talk by a Jewish person regarding the situation in Palestine, I was very moved by what he had to say, and I wrote this poem
He was a Jew
An honourable Jew
Speaking with compassion
Siding with the truth
With a big warm heart
A conscience clear and pure
Anti-Semitic we were told
Self-hater he was called
But simply… he was a Jew
An honourable Jew
Supposedly… one of you
With a tiny huge difference!!!
He has no blood on his hands
Nor did he steal anyone’s land
He has a dream just like mine
To go together and visit Palestine
He as a tourist with me, a refugee
Returning back home with no reason to flee
He was a Jew
An honourable Jew
