Stand Up and Face the Evil…by Robert M. Katzman
© August 16, 2017
There is a dark drama
A building of pressure
A sense of impending change
A feeling of molten human eruption
A trembling of the ground under all of our feet
All thru time
Now thousands of years
When countries begin to disintegrate
Jews are the Canaries in the mines
The first to smell the poisoning air
People like me
Jews who wear Stars of David
Around their necks
Who know how few in Europe
Faced up to tyranny for us
The Gypsies
The Crippled
Homosexuals
Artists and Writers
Who know that the 2% of us
Whose families made it here
To America
Before and after Hitler
Are not enough to stop
A tidal wave of insane hate
The chill inside of us that screams:
“Oh God, not here…too!”
Jews must resist
Black people must resist
Latinos must resist
Gays must resist
All of us
The sane people
Not separately
But Together
Separately
We are but a whisper
Together
We’re an unstoppable roar
Time to face the Evil
Be Ready
Be Brave
Be Americans.
(Inspired by my ranting letter to a brilliant poet and also my friend, Charlie Newman)
