Love Afterwards Poem by Margaret Alice Second

We reject heretics trying to proselytise Judaists
of the Torah, no more prophets sent as we are
righteous already, G-d does not have a human
“son”, we reverently crucify pretenders for their
own good and to save US from the heresy that
not even Judaists should hate their enemies

Deuteronomy says stone missionaries to protect
Judah against unconditional love as it should be
withheld from gentiles & heaping-coals-of-shame-
on-their-heads-heretics helping Israel against the
missile-mad enemies for the wrong reason found
in teachings of Jesus to ensnare us into heeding

Their false creed of sin purged by Redemption, we
respect honest Jihadists and terrorists who end our
physical life only, but fear heretics destroying Jewish
souls eternally should we accept the One-Without-
Sin-throw-the-first-stone-heresy: we have to throw
stones - with or without sin – that’s our legacy

How dare anyone preach to us, the people of the
Covenant - about eternal damnation - against our
Judaic teaching, we should outlaw those contami-
nating Jewish souls with the cross camouflaged in
an international plus sign, we’re already righteous
following the Torah & need no messiah as poor

Un-chosen Gentiles do; missionaries only welcome
to spend while following a Via Dolorosa where their
leader went to be crucified - on condition they don’t
meddle as we peddle Hebrew-letter necklaces - the
ideal of loving Torah and its Enemies at the same
time is anathema, an irrational contradiction –

Our truth is a just G-d executing Deuteronomy 13
verses 7 to 12: no unconditional love allowed in HIS
universe, there’s no dualism as all life’s spiritual while
we’re waiting for a future Messiah, protecting against
heretics with their falsehoods because our G-d is wise
and righteous first - love follows afterwards…
