Poems From The Dark Minded

Between The Lines Of Law (Inspired By Leonore Goldschmidt)

It was unfair, that law

The law that an unliked public servant could be fired

Even if I had over eleven years of teaching experience, I was unliked

So I was let go from my profession

This was unfair,

But all I had to do was dare

Dare to read between the lines of this law,

And that is when I saw

A Jewish teacher still teach up to five non-Ayrin children at a time

With that, the idea was set,

And collecting four other fired Jewish teachers I'd met

A total of twenty-five students were able to study at Goldschmidt School

The law wasn't an oppressor forever,

And I wouldn't dare stand for its endeavor
