Hadrian’s Nightmare



Hadrian’s Nightmare

Disturbed by loves lost is part of the winter frost
For a grimacing face is a cold rain must
Summer has gone for its southern break
One hundred twenty days later to return all fit and sleek

The mountains now lord over in the high North
Calling for snow and awaking the winds to blow
Santa and Chanukah the lights begin to glow
Pretty at night and braving the dark, it’s a show

In the Middle-East during winter there’s only one light
It shines constantly to be strong to fight
In no other place can Christians and Jews celebrate
In only Israel are they free to chant and ululate

Christmas is about birth and Chanukah renewal
Within a short distance is Bethlehem and Jerusalem
Peace isn’t a probability but security is
Within the Jewish State there’s freedom’s face
