Supernova Slaughter, October 7th, 2023.
__________________________________________ 

Bass beats boom, synths swirl, dawn kissed 
barefoot dancers, blissed Nova tribe, party vibes;
hell soon comes for happy hippies, sublime 
spell quelled, festival final fate spelled out. 

Supernova Slaughter, Supernova Slaughter
Hundreds of parents lost sons and daughters.

Sinister shadows, sunny skies suddenly darken, 
evil eyes survey, para-gliders slyly preyed;
bullet sprayed - dancers lay dead, played dead: 
Hamas hunt with unjust blood-lust.

Supernova Slaughter, Supernova Slaughter
Hundreds of parents lost sons and daughters.

Screams, and scattering, fleeing thwarted,
escape plan aborted, car windows bullet-shattered;
marquee empty, sound system eerily silent.
victim violence videoed with godless glee.

Supernova Slaughter, Supernova Slaughter
Hundreds of parents lost sons and daughters.

People pray; Elisha’s mighty angel army 
absent: no sword raised, no arrows aimed -
Torah prophets proclaim Yahweh’s promise - 
Judah’s Lion awaits… God guards the golden gates.

Supernova Slaughter, Supernova Slaughter;
mourned sons and daughters - their siblings treading water;
kaddish prayers wailed, familial spirits impaled:
holocaust haunted, terrorist taunted, Israel undaunted…

סופרנובה קציר, סופרנובה קציר;
בנים ובנות מתאבלים, אחיהם רצים במים,
תפילות קדיש בכו, רוחות משפחתיות נדקרו:
שואה רדוף, טרוריסט מגוחך, ישראל ללא פחד...

Jacob calls his sons together and tells them what will happen to each of them in the days to come. Clearly Jacob is speaking with prophetic language. When he gets to his son Judah - here is what he proclaims:

"Judah, your brothers will praise you; your hand will be on the neck of your enemies; your father's sons will bow down to you. You are a lion's cub, Judah; you return from the prey, my son. 

Like a lion he crouches and lies down, like a lioness-who dares to rouse him? The sceptre will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he to whom it belongs shall come and the obedience of the nations shall be his. 

He will tether his donkey to a vine, his colt to the choicest branch; he will wash his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes. His eyes will be darker than wine, his teeth whiter than milk" (Genesis 49:8-12).
