midos alert

from the year before 2000
until the year today
 people
continue
to bicker and spray
mean comments do fly
walls of division do stand
and the only thing
is left in the sand

sholom means peace
and shalom is the way
without it everything will fizzle away
we have one vision
nothing should divide
with our thoughts on the abishter
all crying should be behind

there is but one way
ill tell it to you
its a vision of shalom
though and through
its when we know
that only shalom will do
this is what our job
calls us to do
what words cannot stay
the words have no place
shalom only will lead them about face.

shalom is peace
and shalom is the way
without it everything else will fizzle away
we have what it takes
we know what it means
when all brothers feel they truly are unity in

shalom is peace
and shalom is the way
without it everything else
can fizzle away
without there is nothing
anyone can celebrate
this terrible monster
can lead all of us
about face.

so shalom means peace
and shalom is the way
without it everything will fissle away

so shalom means epace
and shaloms the way
without it everything will fizzle away


lets do what it takes
lets be in it
to stay
lets tell the whole world
were here for shalom
shalom is true
and shalom is the way
without it all else
will flicker away


so shalom means peace
and shalom is the way
without it everything will fizzle away

so shalom means peace
and shaloms the way
without it everything will fizzle away

me and the rebbe in poem

there is a pretty picture
i think it is mine
but so often during the day
it hides
it hides.

i can see a  good old man
i can see his body
radiating
other.

then i feel myself
within him
can i ever
radiate
other.

all my life
i want to see
the g-d that can be seen
sometimes
when i really try
that can be seen
sometimes
when i really try.

all my life
i want to feel
the g-d that can be felt
sometimes
when i really try
sometimes
when i really try
sometimes

but then on other times
i do not really try
and then
i do not really find
the g-d
i am seeking

This whole story the looking and finding
i see
now
through another lens.
there is a special great man
who connects me to G-d
now i can try
and i can find
now i can try
and i can find.

there is a special great man
whose whole life is mitzvos
and so
he can connects me
he can connect me
he can be my vehicle for me
he can be both manly and g-dly
he helps me
find me.
in him i see myself
at my peak
he is both man
and g-dly
he connect me with g-d
when i
seek him.

then i am
connected
then i see g-d
from my human- g-dly
perspective
form my humane- g-dly
perspective.

There is a part in us
that can relate
to the One
there is a part of us
that can relate
to the One.

we can feel a part
of us
that wants
so much
g-d
good
but it seeks
guidance
guidance.

so i thank you man
you are the one
who reminds meme and the rebbe in poem
of what is good in me.

and so i thank you G-d
You are the part
that makes
living worth-
living
you are
all my life
all the reason
for my life.

Thank you G-d and
thank you Rebbe.

honesty

so often i
hide between a canopy of
false feelings
i say i dont recognise soemones
beauty
but really i do
i stay home
when all along
i wanted to come
i let opportunities
fly
this week i want to
express gratitude
feel the beauty waitng
not be too scared
to feel
there is  a lot of good
in the world
i will go out
three times this week
and thank g-d
for a beautiful encounter

poemwk3

g-d, israel and am yisroel, KULO CHAD

After 2000 years

After travels from here to here

After being

The single people

Whose home was so far

The Jewish people

Reclaimed the land

The Jewish sons and daughter to Israel were bound

And now we are proud

to be a  people and a land near

to be a people

with a land

that we can

really hear

There is not a people

Without a home

There is not a people whose rabbis are so real

There is not a people that teaches justice

The way the Jewish people do

So for its people

That gave the world

Its whole meaning

Its whole game

I say

let this people live

Let this people

Show the world

About

This truest game

Let this people

Say t I am G-d

Let this people

Not be frightened

Before the gravity

Of their task

Let them know

The people want to hear

People feel

There is a g-d

But the jews
need to teach

Then all people will see

How this game is real

Their G-d will stop hiding

This truest G-d wile b revealed

And nothing more

Will be needed in our game

I am sure

I am sure

That this day is near

That this day is very near

But in the meantime

My dear friends

Please continue to believe

G-d, the Jews, the torah

Are real (Zohar ch 111, v 43)
