Israel the Surprise
Israel the surprise of
the century
Nay the Millennium
Almost from the days of
the Founding Fathers
was to be eliminated,
wiped off the face of the earth.
Survived four hundred
years of slavery
survived Battles and
wars without number
Marched away to the captivity
by the Babylonians
Survived destruction of
the Holy of Holies
Their most sacred Temple.
Survived dispersal to
the ends of the earth.
cruelty, torture and
universal hatred.
The inquisition, the ghetto
and history's horrors
yet remained to take
part in this modern day.
Even now the nations
that closed their doors
To those that survived
the holocaust
Are to sit in judgment
of how much Israel will retain
and what, the
Arabs are to gain
in the final development.
Mighty Nations have come
and gone
down the pages of
History
Each in their turn tried
to master us
and now lie forgotten,
gathering Dust
while we remain to fight
another day
for the freedom of our
nation.
