“No, we won’t let you go to him,
We don’t want another victim.”
A Jewish friend of mine was once told
For being so foolishly bold.
He was damn eager to see me,
But that , they thought, could never be.
“Are you insane? Is this the time?”
They reprimanded time after time.
No matter how hard they pleaded,
He wouldn’t be persuaded.
“I have to see him” he did say,
“I wouldn’t stay behind, come what may.”
We’ve been visiting each other
Since we went to school together.
We always took pride in our friendship
Though others condemned the relationship.
They would say to defend their stand,
“We love you, try to understand.
We have nothing against you friend,
We are just too worried and cncerned,
So please don’t go , it’s safer here,
You’re the only one left, dear.
In times like ours it’s insane
To be friendly and damn humane.”
Nevertheless he insisted,
However hard they resisted.
To be honest they might be right,
Death spares no place at day or night.
Life’s so precarious, but who cares
How deep the wounds every one bears.
