The Clock of History Awaits its Promised Rendez-Vous

(Reflection on the Haftorah for Torah Portions Acharei Mot and Kedoshim)

Arrogance severs so many circuits

Of understanding, stifling individual

And collective future goal progress

Of a nation’s trajectory to its destiny.

The evolution of an individual

And a nation to actualization

Depends on the restraints morality

Has set by law for society to be just.

The clock of history ticks as it awaits

The unfolding of the Divine written promise,

Signed, sealed and delivered on the Torah’s parchment

For an era of security and peace.

Wherein the Sanctuary returns

Blessing the nation and its inhabitants

With the realization of its actualization.
