So you think.you can tell
heaven from hell?

Two Hasidic men,
with their ringlets and all,
playing Pink Floyd
against a Jerusalem wall.

Wish you were here
land washed over by waves of invaders:
Arabs, Crusaders, Romans, Greeks

In modernity men and women
with no flesh, no fat on their bones,
crowded onto boats in 1946
people fleeing the Shoah — the catastrophe
6 million slaughtered, 1 in 3 of the world's Jews.

Jews came to weep at the weeping wall
came to fight for a land called home
two thousand years in the wilderness

Remnants remained to build
a new Israel, remained to build
a Yad Vashem -
remained to build — remembrance.

So you think.you can tell
heaven from hell?
