Dirty Jews

By Sara Malka Gottlieb

Dirty Jews

With holy dirt beneath our fingernails
We transform the barren rocky hilltops
With smudges of dirt and sweat on our faces
We reclaim our land
Rebuild - Replant
Yes
We are dirty Jews and proud of it
Lying on the ground
Looking up at the sky
The dirt beneath me
Holding me
My land
Where I belong
Yes
I am a dirty Jew.
