HE AND SHE



He is the Jew on Schindler’s list,
she of the few the bullets missed,
he is the man that Judas kissed.

He sets the flame in Belsen’s fires,
his mind his work of art inspires,
she writes the score for Islam’s choirs.

He is the child who dies of AIDS,
she rides a horse in the Crusades,
he’s the Buddha smashed in Maoist raids.
