Supreme Court hearing, did you hear
‘Twas twenty twenty one that year
The year the presidential coup
Almost succeeded; Trump v. you
At issue here: Was Trump immune
From prosecution? ‘Twas his tune
Since he was President, you see
His acts were legal. He was free
Trump’s justices, the bush beat ‘round
With hypotheticals unsound
Did not address the issue’s core
Revealing biases galore
Their tactic: to delay, it’s clear
The trial of Trump until next year
Beyond elections in the Fall
And possibly no trial at all
The Court’s behavior does reveal
The dangers of this Court are real
Their claim of justice is a fake
Democracy, itself’s at stake

Comparison
So stark today’s comparison
With Trump creating history
Deflated in his misery
First President to be on trial
Been charged with deeds felonious
While Biden with his counselors met
Deciding what’s the best response
To Natanyahu on Iran’s
Three hundred drones and missiles sent
At Israel – which were shot down
Who would you choose as President?

Tsavah
- Tsavah
It’s not the tsavah that I knew
It’s not the Hel Avir, my friends,
When Israel was still quite new
And I designing things for them
Then Golda was Prime Minister
Unlike old Bibi, now P.M.
Who’s actions board on sinister
Who really doesn’t give a damn
That three and thirty thousand died
Block-buster bombs on Gaza dense
Civilians found no place to hide
Plus Hamas tactics, no pretense
They used civilians as their shields
One hundred thousand protesters
Israelis taking to the fields
And streets around Jerusalem
Amounts to more than one percent
Of Israel’s total population
One percent, a delegation
Telling Bibi to resign
Maspeak! Enough! Now is the time!
