רק כך he knew the only way to freedom was by this alone he knew that western promises are made of silk not stone deep in his bones, heard the screams of dying souls knew a bullet in its in time and place would change the globe young asher, black hair, dark eyes born outside the city walls born to struggle born to fight and see his people rise and see the ships come in despite the men with rotten teeth with empires and schemes started as a spy smuggled guns and made his moves from the doorway of the shop the british calling dirty jew limey bastards, fit inside a casket send em back to england with their head gone backwards asher wanted vengeance, he followed jabotinsky knew how to use a rifle and how to shoot a pistol knew the smell of evil, he fought the sons of darkness the sunburned khaki soldiers made a perfect target the world war was winding up, and the good guys won churchill stalin roosevelt lounging in the sun divvy up the spoils, lines across the map you can take a piece of this i'll have a piece of that the british in their compound just off jaffa road set the jews curfew and where they couldnt go a rainy night in march the sun was blocked by clouds asher and the etzel snuck in unannounced the irgunists had guns, the irgunists had bombs the british had the money, the etzel had g-d asher caught a slug, took aim shot back saw a british soldier caught a bullet in his hat then everything went black, his body in a bag they dropped it at his parents house and left it on the steps he sacrificed his years, he died a hero's death, cut down so young, but died with no regrets
