The Talmudic In Socio-Political Power Matters Ii Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

The Talmudic In Socio-Political Power Matters Ii



It's not a matter of wanting to be or not
involved in Jewish stuff. It is that such matters are
already around and to a large extent part of us.
For instance, I claim to understand Einstein's theories.
I bank & drink with Rothschild. Rothko & Chagall hang
on my walls. In my thoughts Freud slips in now and then.

I sometimes swear by Jesus but contribute to His State.
More than 30 shekels! I often wonder where we would be
without the twelve apostles Leonard Bernstein or Cohen or
the Gershwin brothers. I know in writing this I tread on
thin water, but have faith, like Alice B. Toklas had in
Gertrude Stein, and that I am lighter than water.

Well, I could go on but will pause for a glass or two of
Manishevitz and read an unauthorized biographies of
Hart Moss & Sarah Bernhardt. And yet, not wanting to
live my life through the lives of others I always come back
to mine so that my goy ego name might one day be added
to this foreshortened list.

Rube Goldberg, Copeland, Bob Dylan, Mordecai, Jonas Salk,
Nostradamus, Frida Kahlo, Isaac Azimov, Baruch, Elvis Presley,
Al Rosen, Imanuel Velikovsky, Edward Teller, Arthur Miller,
Franz Kafka, Modigliani, Carl Sagan, Niels Bohr, Golda Meir,
Allen Ginzberg, David Mahmet, J.D. Salinger, Frank Gehry,
Leonardo da Vinci and maybe even Christopher Columbus.

Well, let's not skew further the Semite way without mentioning
the not so gentile side. Stalin, Gengis Khan, Mussolini, Idi Amin,
Atila the Hun, Hitler, Nero, Kim Jong-il, Saddam Hussein and I'd
throw in a Bush or two unless the two-war Iraqi dead don't count.
Well, ok! There was Herod but all I am envious about
are his ten wives and then let's not forget a non-descript God.

All this in the name of power! Cheers! Laheim! Vodka anyone?
