AVI BINUR: MERCY GATE בָּרוּךְ הַשֵׁם

Miriam's Mantra

Dedicated to Mercedes

Mother had Cancer for seven thousand years.
She was encapsulated by coughing fits below.
Sealions and Lobsters were her only companions.

None of our friends or family came to her aid
As the angel's scalpel hovered over her bosom:
She slept crying out for God to have mercy;

When the anesthesia finally wore off,
Not even halfway through her cruel sentence
(Shocking the doubtful medical professionals),

Suddenly, she could still be heard crying out, "Have Mercy!"
She drove herself to the hospital and was driven back to the Camp.
Turns out Mom had her head covered with ash for only seven long days.

Stoned that's just one week to work out your own Salvation.


Walang ligaya sa lupa na hindi dinilig ng luha.

Filipino Proverb: There is no earthly bliss not watered by tears.

Bnei Lot are of an ancient origin. In the migratory tradition of Ruth begun more than two millennia ago, a remnant of David and Solomon migrated into Maritime Southeast Asia which comprises what is now Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, The Philippines, and Singapore, as well as Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, with a sizeable minority of Malays migrating back to their tribal allotments in Sephardic Judah, besides Terrestrial and Figurative Jordan.
