IN POETRY: Questions For Our Time

by Alex

By: Faith Brown

If the Book of Life was today unfurled

It would show a broken world

A world of sadness and despair

With people who no longer care

Is this the world we want to see,

Where a person cannot live free?

Is this the choice that we have made?

Our freedom now has been delayed

Signs with hatred on every street

We try to fight, but face defeat

So, to G-d, please hear our voice

Do not say we have no choice

Please, dear G-d, we cannot cope

We need Your words to give us hope

Tikkun Olam, that is our role

To repair the world and make it whole
