brunette
Why is their soul agitated?
Their souls are troubled.
For destroying their temple
That the culture of the race
It shattered in front of me.
Against the east wind
Who knows poetry and also books
But an east wind
They will not be pleased.
Because she is not as beautiful as them.
Not white, not left-wing
Not secular
And worst of all, she is not
Ashkenazi
so
Don't look at me.
Because I'm a brunette.
And not because the sun tarnishes them.
