We've Wandered the Globe

We've wandered the globe
For thousands of years,
Starting with Abraham,
Who took our Hebrew wanderers
Out of the deserts of Sumeria
To Egypt, where we were enslaved,
Till Moses led us for forty years
Through deserts to the Holy Land,
Where our Kingdom was finally
Ravaged by the Romans,
Jesus, our rabbi, crucified,
And then, through the Middle Ages,
Jews were restricted to Ghettos,
Forced to wear a yellow star,
Then came the pogroms in Russia,
The Jews killed, the women raped,
Followed by the German Nazis,
Who gassed and burned
Six million of our brethren,
Till, finally, our Jewish people
Returned to our Holy Land,
Our former kingdom,
Fulfilling a dream,
Dormant for thousands of years,
Where they wanted to live
In peace and friendship
With their Semitic Arab cousins,
But the fascist Imams and agitators,
Who kept their own people in bondage,
Wanted a war to drive the Jews into the sea,
But this will never, ever happen,
For Jehovah, terrible in his wrath,
Will with Israel's modern technology,
Turn the cities of our enemies
Into green glass and the inhabitants
Into radioactive vapors,
And for ten thousand years,
All life in their lands will cease.
