Shoftim
vengeance is permitted
the goel hadam
the redeemer of blood
for the sake of the land
how does blood remove blood
does the stain not grow larger
in the holy soil
wherein lies redemption
we are told that your eye shall not pity
life for life, eye for eye,
tooth for tooth,
hand for hand, foot for foot
whether pity is a trait of human nature
or a middah that is developed
can its voice be ignored
once acquired
shall we pity those committed
to an unending crusade
against their own humanity
can innocent blood ever be redeemed
