Leave Us Alone!

I’m sick to death of Jews being killed for simply surviving
This time, two murdered in a kosher mom-n- pop in Jersey City
Schools, stores, synagogues, there are no safe places left
You look Jewish, you talk Yinglish, you’re gonna get hurt
 
I have just one question- it’s painfully simple to answer, so let’s go
Do Jews rampage in your stores, your places of worship, your schools?
Have there been recent yarmulke clad or wig-wearing murderers
Who plotted, planned, then murdered you and yours in cold blood?
 
No
 
So what makes you so special, you racist, demented monster?
You think Jews are evil, diseased, have no right to be left alone
What, preacher-man or talk radio fanatic riled you up again?  
Can’t think for yourself, so grab a weapon and spout toxic rhetoric!
 
Let me break down for those non-Jews who are intellectually ignorant
Jews don’t need (or want) to seduce your kids, convert you, or run banks
If it seems like we’re smarter or better, history demands us to be that way
We have to work three times as hard just to get one of your opportunities
 
So
 
Do yourself a solid, do the world a favor, and just believe we don’t exist
If that is the alternative to death, any Jew would take it - I know I would
Our families came to America centuries ago to escape others just like you
America may be a land of kindness, but that kindness comes with a price
 
This isn’t about what went down 70 years ago, or the Gaza business
Racism, prejudice, xenophobia, all this anti-Semitism is a cover-up
The fact of the matter is painfully obvious to anyone who looks closely
you, non-Jewish bigot, are terrified of the wrong demon - yourself

Author's Note
Yesterday, six were shot dead in a kosher bodega in Jersey City, NJ. Two were Orthodox Jews. 2019 has been the year of the most American anti-Semitic attacks in recent history. This is my response not just to this shooting, but to ALL the murders and acts of hate perpetrated. I turned off comments bc I am not willing to discuss or debate this on any level. These are MY feelings, and they are not up for dissection. If you want to give CONSTRUCTIVE critique, feel free to send me a message. Thank you.
