Sometimes in life, a preference Is but the lesser of two evils, Like choosing ***** or Gemorah; And sometimes it is a sacrifice, As palpable as Abraham and Isaac's. Sometimes choosing means Standing by the roadside With your thumb straight out, Your heart a wide open chasm To swallow the sinner in you whole, And blank eyes screaming "I don't know". Sometimes you're a Tamar, And people, bless their hearts, Think you're a Sara or Rebecca And you just feel like a big ol' Delilah. Sometimes your face feels like the Red Sea, Only the dry land is wet with snot, And sometimes despite it all, You raise your hands up in the air And the sun stands still In the valley of Refaim or Aijalon. Sometimes your Temple burns, You realize your body is the loot And you barely recognize the ornaments. But even when you're exiled In the solitude of your own mind, There remains the promise of redemption, And whether Messianic or romantic, You must have faith in the intervention That will guide you towards the future from Isaiah.
