Jewish and Proud poem
I’m Jewish and proud of it
Proud of my culture, people and heritage
It’s time to promote
A sense of positive
Know who you ought to be
Know where you should be in society
Things in life may get you down
Like anti-semitism all around
But don’t worry, don’t fear
Stand strong and shake the ground
Take a Yiddish trip in life
And rediscover that we are
United together as a people of true
No internal divide, just a force with you
Jewish people sharing a common bond
To bring global harmony with everyone
Now, some may say I’m an idealist
But I’m a realist in what I hope
Jewish people where ever you may be
From Ethiopia to the USA
They are brothers and sisters of history
All sharing the same family
Get together and unite as one
Young Jews express yourselves
Reassert your commitments
Don’t give up on your traditions
Stories told by your grandparents
Pass onto the next generation
Some may try and bring us down
Kick us out of existence
But you know, we have strength
To defend through the system
No more need to be afraid
Speaking your mind ain’t no disgrace
Voicing your opinions, never be silent
Words of wisdom, thoughts of old
Like our forefathers use to hold
Try them now, see reactions
Make a better world
Through positive Jewish action
