My Jewish Friends Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

My Jewish friends

This blaming of the Jews is so tiring I have worked
with many Jews, upholsterer of furniture and little shops
selling whatever needed,
the daily struggle and had no time to destroy the world.
They used to come to my café, and I loved it
to meet someone who reads more than the local rag we often
disagreed long after closing time
but parted as friends I loved these people who read
and had political opinions of all colours.
My wife joined me she didn`t like the Jews
I think it was pathological some Jews had spat when
they walked passed her church; she had not seen it but knew
of People who had witnessed the sin
Alone I was among bacon butties and a conservative working
the class who believed what they read.
Well, I went away, but one thing is sure
the Jew are not about to take over the world
