Yerushalayem

The world works in mysterious ways
to obstruct justice and challenge the
legitimacy of heritage as a reflection of
some strange pathology of mass psychosis
settling in perpetuity on a small group of
people known for their faith in monotheism
whose example gifted the world with two
theistic interpretations anxious to sever
their origin from the authentic original
for to pay homage to those whose origins
are so tightly wrapped in that original would
also require a massive shift in the regard
in which that tribe has been held since
time immemorial. Maligned, threatened
victimized and massacred the people still
endured, their strength of will restoring to
themselves their ancient capital to which
they had for thousands of years pledged
return to join those of their own who had
held fast to the fabled city of Jerusalem.
Little could they imagine that restoration
would be challenged in all corners of a
world long accustomed to hostile regard of
a people unbowed, proudly returning while
defending itself from military violence as 
they also fend off the intention to destabilize
their success as a nation upon whom the
dazzling light of triumph spurs the bleak
monster of envy in its countless detractors
determined to champion squatters' rights
over the incontestable heft of inheritance.
