it is as though we are 'slaves' once again....

what is the difference,
pray tell,
between
being 'enslaved' in a country....
(let's use 'EGYPT', for argument's sake).....
as SLAVES , literally.....
and...
being locked in a cage,
surrounded by 'invisibal bars' ??

it is beginning to feel, in THIS COUNTRY....
as though we are, in fact, prisoners...
prisoners of war...
of theological unrest....
prisoners of 'democracy'....
that DEMOCRACY ,
wrapping its spiderlike
arms and legs around our necks...
sqqqqueeeezing us into submission....

we must SUBMIT to piracy and
'megalomaniacal tyranny'
or LOSE EVERYTHING.....

these are the TERMS on the ever proverbial
"SHABBAT TABLE"....
a plethora of 'lesser of evils'.....
no choice AT ALL !!!

my soul is crying....
tears of anguish for 'my people'...
for ALL of us....

for we are, indeed,
in EXILE....

our 'promised land' continues to 'quiver'....
with the anticipation of our
RETURN....
against all odds...
in the face of extremity and threat....

we will dance in the streets !!!
we will reign supreme !!!
for GOD is watching us......
