Why should I
at this point in time
choose to make you my priority?
What inspiration should fuel me
in putting your needs
at the fore?

What have you offered me
these last few months
that should leave me thinking
there is reason to go forward
with an us?
Why should I still believe
there is such a thing
as an us?

I want to.
I want to have something
to believe in
and, as a Jew,
I am made to ask questions
to get answers
that can provide insight.
This is what my people have made me.
This is who I am.

Who are you?
Who are we?
What do we have
to go on for
and why?
