I
am re-posting this, with a few revisions, from Day 598:
On Rosh
Hashanah it is inscribed,
And on Yom
Kippur it is sealed.
How
many shall pass away and how many shall be born,
Who
shall live and who shall die,
Who
shall reach the end of his days and who shall not,
Who
shall speak facts and who shall speak alternate facts,
Who
shall be a bully, and who shall rise above the bullying,
Who
shall do what is right, and who shall do what is needed to get re-elected,
Who
shall endlessly tweet indiscriminately and who shall think,
Who
shall be the exemplar of narcissism and who shall be humble,
Who
shall be loyal to their country and who shall be loyal only to wallets,
Who
shall uphold the Constitution and who shall treat it like a roll of knock-off
Charmin,
Who
shall rise higher and who shall fall lower,
Who
shall stoke the flames of fear, mistrust, and bigotry, and who shall nourish
love, partnership and community,
Who
shall continue to divide us, and who shall seek to unite us,
Who
shall remain, and who shall be impeached,
Who
shall show courage in the Senate, and who shall embrace Cowardice,
Who
shall be the clouds, and who shall be the silver linings,
On
Rosh Hashanah it is inscribed and on Yom Kippur it is sealed.
Amen.
