A Non-Religious Jew

 

“Well, he may be a good man but he’s certainly not Christian. Zelensky

is the first Jewish president of Ukraine, even if he is non-religious...”

 

-The Remnant, 2 March 2022

 

He stands in rubbled streets during bomb attacks

And takes a selfie to show us he’s alive

Our tee-shirted leader of the free world

He stands among the wreckage and reassures us

 

He stands in rubbled streets; he needs a shave

He needs some sleep; he does not need a ride

But The Remnant - O infallible Remnant! –

Dismisses him as just a Jew

 

If only we were all that Jewish

If only we were all that non-religious
