He Did
The great Israeli, the great Professor Liviu Librescu did,
Working one minute, knowing the next, he waited not, he did.
When a matter of hell was on them with shot and fire,
When the shooting started, the loathing, evil desire,
When the children of Virginia, freedom land screamed,
And were cruelly taken, the teacher quickly deemed,
Not in my class! You cannot have a single one for,
You must go through me and I am strong, vile hate!
Do you hear me now! Leave my place, take no more!
I spit in your face! Not one shall you add to your slate.
The professor did what none but the bravest, I bid,
And only the strongest, God-filled can do. He did.
Of those very few among us like he, the truly tall.
He taught them well then kicked that fearsome wall,
Was a shield, helping them flee man’s darkest fall.
He went down plainly knowing his life was o’er.
He is a hero. He is that but far, faraway more,
God bless the great professor. God forever bless him.
God bless his children, his wife… his life. I’chaim!
He’s surely with God now. He’s done with me and you.
Kaddish... Pray to God for a best man, the man Librescu.
Let’s roll......
A true hero.
Professor Liviu Librescu, a brave and good man, RIP.
Blessings on him and his family. He honored us all with his heroism.
Uncommon Valore
Save.
I wished I had known him. I wished he was one of my professors. He had to be the best.
Thank you .. that was lovely. Prof. Librescu was incredible.
Awesome poem, Andy—you have a true talent with words.
G-D Bless the professor...
