The Ancient Hebrews

Sumerians, Greeks
And Romans,
Great civilizations,
Once admired, cherished,
Have turned to dust
And perished,
But the ancient Hebrews,
Those wanderers,
Now known as Jews,
Are still around
To make the news,
Still contribute,
Throughout the ages,
To religion, science,
Literature and art,
With Jesus, Einstein,
Freud, Chagall and
Bernstein for a start;
In human history,
They play their part.
