Shoftim

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
