WE WON AND THEY LOST ( CHAPTER 9 ) Trisha Arlin
For Mordecai was now powerful in the royal palace , and his fame was spreading through all the provinces ; the man Mordecai was growing ever more powerful . So the Jews struck at their enemies with the sword , slaying and destroying ; they wreaked their will upon their enemies .
So what happens when we win ? Not by much And in the nick of time . It so easily could have gone the other way .
And though there ’ s lots of us There ’ s more of them And they are cruel But then so are we .
Do we forgive and forget ? Or do we strike at our enemies with the sword ? Do we slay and destroy As they wanted to do to us ?
Even those who had nothing to do with it ? Even the children ? Are they permanently them ? Are we forever only us ?
Shall we be cruel ? Shall we impale them on the stake And then forget them ? It ’ s tempting , yes ?
Weren ’ t they stupid ? Aren ’ t we clever ?
