A saga that began way back
A small town quite obscure
The agents burst in with deep rage
Smashing every door
The newspapers were filled with lies
Libels and deceptions
To garner hate against our laws
And create misconceptions
Charges brought against a Yid
That should not stand in court
But all their machinations
Destroyed any support
Financial charges levied hard
The unions and the banks
And judges seemed colluding with
The prosecutor’s ranks
A verdict set, beyond belief
Unheard, unprecedented
And all the world just looked away
A family tormented
A lifetime sentence for a Jew
A simple first offense
Hundreds of great legal minds
Just said, “This makes no sense!”
And politicians at first shrugged
“It’s sad,” “Oh what a shame”
Pointing fingers, with sound-bites
Thinking who to blame
A family, ten kinderlach
A wife, alone, bereft
The orders from a vicious judge
The hatred from the left
From court to court, appealing
No one seemed to hear
And any plea to Obama
Would never reach his ear
And somewhere up in Heaven
Hashem said, “You must wait
I have a plan, I have a goal
I even have the date
“Don’t rely on people
And those you think could care
Just have faith, continue on
Emunah and a prayer”
And from the multitudes of men
A great hero arose
A Yated Neeman shouted loud
Release Shalom from the throes!
Letters, rallies, fundraising
Millions for legal aid
Torah Jewry davened hard
Please end this sad charade
Who knew? Who cared?
Who even thought
A small historic bump
What difference would or could it make
A President Donald Trump?
Don’t put your faith in Hillary
And surely not Obama
Hashem has plans
You won’t believe
It’s just with added drama
And suddenly, The Donald
Elected as the Prez
A politician who does keep
The promises he says
“A chutzpah!” cries the media
This man, he hates our news
He shuns the Washington elite
And all liberal Jews!
But he’s a man who listens
A president who cared
A messenger was sent to help
For when they spoke, he heard
The candles’ light was flickering
They now burst through the door
Your sentence is commuted
Your jail time is no more
His talis, tefillin clutched in hand
His seforim on Emunah
Now was the time, Hashem had planned
And not a second sooner
And once again in unity
The tears were of delight
Thanking the Almighty
And dancing through the night
The power of our tefillos
The power of our prayer
The power of a maverick
Who showed no human fear
Pure faith in the Almighty
Reb Shalom taught us all
He shall always listen
But we first must make the call
