A Beautiful Summers Eve

The day begins on a beautiful summers eve

Nothing could prepare me for I was about to receive

As my mother yelled at me with such hate

Brought on by her paranoid schizophrenic state

As inside, I felt death was assured

From then on, when others spoke, not a word was heard

At 6 I could read write and speak in Hebrew quit well

But once others knew, I was in a living hell

I was beat up every morning before school

The teachers and principal thought I was a fool

I did not understand till later in life

Why being Jewish, came with so much strife

Harassed as an adult seeking a job

Mostly by jerks, who were religious snobs

Haunted and torched that was driven by hate

Seemed like this was all my fate

Not knowing where my affluent taste came from

Running in circles trying to fulfill it some

Always blocked and denied

While In my heart, I cried

Why being Jewish, in America was so hard to be

It felt like no one even tried to know me

Then I found weights and sports and I was set

To punish whomever I met

The anger drove me like a rented mule

Bringing my EGO plenty of fuel

To wreak havoc on all I found

Knowing only to hell I was bound

Then I found what changed my life

Gave it meaning and purpose as to why the strife

The more I studied and worked the experiments given

I saw how much I was never living

Now my life is almost whole

Because we are connected to the one soul

Living and loving Nature's plan

Connecting the world as much as I can
