The Jews Do Not Seek Saviors

The Jews Do Not Seek Saviors The Jews do not seek saviors round about To call them Basileus, Rex or King.

For would dare invite a welcome guest Into a filthy house, While Christians seek the great Imperator, The Jews go scrubbing fine, mosaic floors And make menorahs shine on spotless walls, To wake the feast.

The Jew's Messiah will not, cannot save.

It's they must clear the rooms of insect sin.

They do not wait but rather tidy up, So David's offspring shall be pleased to sup In Jewish homes of cleanliness and peace, Without the need for fabulous release Or sacrifice of blood.

Carl Estrin
