    on yom kippur night

     how many jews are shot to death
    on yom kippur night
    how many jews don't pass the test
    on yom kippur night
    daughter of zion, don't you weep

    may you all be sealed in the book of life
    may you all be sealed
    in the book of life

    life is so short, life is so sweet
    on yom kippur night
    life     is so good, even in defeat
    on yom kippur night
    daughter of zion, don't you weep

    may you all be healed
    may you all be revealed
    may you all be sealed
    in the book of life

    sorry sorry sorry
    sorry sorry so sorry
    i have tried my best
    have i failed the test?
    am i blemished beyond repair?

    how many jews are turned into ash
    on yom kippur night
    how many jews, honey how many jews
    on yom kippur night
    daughter of zion, don't you weep

    may you all be blessed
    may you all pass the test
    may you all be sealed
    sealed sealed sealed
    in the book of life

    Blueroad commented on on yom kippur night

    Very strong and clear feeling! I was deeply emotionalized though I'm not a Jew. But, as a human being , you get depressed when you see or hear about disasters caused my man no matter wherever they happen.

    so true blueroad. we feel the empathy for sorrow, injustice and hurt toward others. just gotta keep plugging away and try to make the world a little better. thanks for the comment.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
