Some say that we come from old Tado <br />others say ancestral home is Notsie <br />but our traits point us to old Egypt <br />while our practices do depict Jews <br />in dorflefle, trekosi and homtodzo <br /> <br />does what we shroud now tritely aloft <br />secret dialects we speak in sacred shrines <br />do explain or not why it sounds Hebrew <br />on the lips of our stark illiterate priests <br />or a minority feared, envied this much? <br /> <br />if our open secrets we hide in silence <br />to explicate the prejudice we feel now <br />is our incurable idolatory from ages past <br />stoked the wrath of the Ancient of Days <br />to estrange us in pillage from the old fold? <br /> <br />what excuse then do we have as curators <br />to our perplexed progeny in strange lands <br />why we are demonized to whip hate sentiment <br />just as before the holocaust the other fold <br />who now look white while we look this black? <br /> <br />today our hearts will find serene moorings <br />when we look within and beyond this self <br />jettison taints of traditions of anachronism <br />keep societal ship buoyant in humane waters <br />at where our freedom ends starts another’s <br /> <br />when our affinity is seen as selfish herd <br />when they say Ewes only stick to Ewes <br />indictment of kinship, mystery and nepotism <br />“How many Ewes have you been nice to? ” <br />more fingers point at their manifest flaws <br /> <br />how would brothers who now sow discord <br />see us as heathen and themselves as gentiles <br />know the real story of the lost ten kingdom <br />that the doors of salvation will soon close <br />when Jews retrace steps the redeemer accept? <br /> <br />Written by <br />Dela Bobobee©<br /><br />Dela Bobobee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/true-origin-of-the-ewes/
