To The Day



To The Day

Four years ago to the day I left the wonderful Land
A Land I love and ideally triumphs for what I stand
Individualism, reason, liberty – all the hallmarks of capitalism
Without this Land, named the United States, there’d be no freedom

If I could live in both places at once, that would be supreme
But this world is reality and it’s an irrational dream
Choices must always be made and the doing only counts
So I moved when it was time from the City of New York to Carmel Mount

Different language, mores and climate that hardly pours
This English-speaking Westerner to the Mediterranean shore
Israel a country different where everything moves opposite
I will not change but now I learn an alternative composite

I have touched different corners of the world
And nowhere actually feels like home
In everything there is a price to be paid
Important is the soul that’s been made
