Va’era
what has changed, really.
now we are the ones plagued by wild beasts,
blood, and an icy-hot hail of thundering steel.
still suffering from
the same affliction.
believing that the pandemic of hate
has been contained,
going back to sleep.
and then, at midnight,
it is our firstborn who are now stricken,
and we are surprised;
appalled at such barbarity
as if our values are theirs.
and then stubbornly placing our trust
once again
in nations, and generals,
rather than the God of Moses.
