Jews are being slaughtered again, ho hum –
In serene leafy Squirrel Hill this time
After days of pipe-bomb deliveries
To Dem bigwigs, enemies of the T***p state,
As reported by those enemies of the state,
The media; now the Jews again, those
Enemies out of central casting always
On call for the demented demons
Of domination as they once again
Focus their hatred and execute scapegoats
In the name of some Judenfrei utopia
That can never exist, because once
Judenrein, those left will turn on the weak
And most despised among them
And the executions will begin again…
So don’t look for barbarians at the gate
They already are right here inside –
Inside our borders, inside our hearts
