Insensitivity

Insensitivity reigns supreme

At the White House. No, this isn't a dream.

You'd think that one would have more sense.

I guess we can't expect that from Pence.

 

Two days after eleven died

At a synagogue, shot inside

By an angry extremist--completely hate filled--

Who stated that ALL Jews should be killed,

 

The vice president, with little regard

For others' beliefs--why's that so hard?--

Introduced a "rabbi" whose views

Aren't respected by practicing Jews

 

At Lena Epstein's election campaign

In Michigan. Completely insane!

Is Pence defiant, or is he naïve?

Does he not care what others believe?

 

"Rabbi" Loren has been involved

With Jews for Jesus. They are resolved

To carry out their major ambition:

Converting Jews. Yes, that's their mission.

 

Many are outraged by the lack

Of sensitivity. Doesn't it smack

Of disrespect, brashness, and cheek--

A real kick in the pants, so to speak?

 

Do not tell me that reasons abound

Why there were no other rabbis around--

Rabbis whose messages wouldn't collide

With many beliefs of the people who died.

 

"Rabbi" Loren was there to address

The carnage in Pittsburgh, but also to bless

Republicans wanting a victory nod

From their pro-Republican God.
