| I am Israelby Eugene Samolin
 
                    
                        | A cell inside my
                        body, A man inside my house,
 A house inside my city,
 A city inside my country,
 A country inside my world.
 
 The world is a reflection of myself,
 Like a light trapped in a mirror,
 Reflecting into my eyes.
 
 A pearl inside an oyster,
 A diamond in the rough.
 A baby in the womb,
 A body in a tomb.
 
 I am my own company,
 Together, alone.
 I am an alien nation.
 
 Am I empowered,
 Or a coward?
