Last month, Tubishvat

We planted the seed of hope

Now we know what we need to grow

As the spiral of the calendar

Moves to fruition

We rise like the sap

Stay true to our mission

As we enter Adar

Simchah increases

A challenging reminder

If we listen it could teach us

A joy so deep

So whole and complete

No question of depression could be

It's too sweet...

We aspire to a holy confusion

Delusion we're losing

Mordechai and Haman into one now are fusing

Reality is waiting

Beneath the mask of the surface

Where celebrities are worshipped

And people live life with no purpose

Which hurts us

Of course

We have a need for significance

Breathe the magnificence

Each and every instant is

A gift that we're given this

Struggle with the Infinite

Through the generations

We're given possibilities

Of true creation

Our destiny's the wedding of the

Earth with the heavenly

Like Moses on the mountain

Bringing down the remedy

That eventually found its way through the centuries

To Purim

Where all of our people accepted the

Gift of our legacy

And did some defending we

United when necessary

To face our enemies

Like Esther

The descendent of Saul

Who answered the call

And seemed to place her life

In the hands of a fool

A king who didn't think

He was fit for the crown

The kind of chump you can order around

So the megillah is a question:

Who manipulates better?

Amalek or Yisrael

Haman or Esther

Manipulation for our own selfish sake

Or for the sake of evolution of life

It's for you to decide

Manipulation for our own selfish sake

Or for the sake of evolution of life

It's for you to decide



It's always Purim, but when it's Purim, then it's REALLY Purim :)
