Politically Quite Incorrect

Politically Quite Incorrect

Our Holy Day of Purim is

Politically quite incorrect

As they would do away with this

For finding it to be suspect;

For it depends upon the lot

Cast by a villain, meant to fall

Upon that day his fatal plot

Would do us in, once and for all;

And how, as though by accident,

Against us nothing would avail

Despite their murderous intent—

To finish us we would prevail;  

Since Mordecai refused to bow

Before a human being, he

Was confident God won’t allow

Man to be under tyranny;

Those gallows Haman had set up

Constructed 50 amahs high,

Haman himself would hang atop

That he set up for Mordecai;

For enemies armed to the teeth

Awaiting to wipe Israel out

Would end up after underneath

(Ironically all turns about);

But if it were not for the Queen

Of all disguises Esther, who

Revealed herself thus to be seen

So as to save her fellow Jew;

As not once in this Holy Book

Is there a mention of God’s name

Behind events one has to look

For God Who is One in the same.
