hineni
here i am, your only son, whom you don’t love
do i get to live at the end of this parsha?
i’ve only seen one movie with a boy who looks like me and he died in the end, was murdered as a sacrificial offering to you the god haelohim. passed him round like a loaf of bread for crows and cohanim to feed.
there are no boys that look like me in your torah.
ibrahim passed your test, your pop quiz so they say
so they say “here i am, your only son, whom you don’t love”
do i get to live at the end of this torah?
do i get to live out the rest of my life?
will you throw me down a ten foot cliff?
will you light me on fire at the end of this alter?
here i am, your only son, whom you don’t love
and i am saying no
will that make you love me?
will that make you love me?
I’ve only seen one movie
I’ve only seen one movie
I’ve only seen one movie
I’ve only seen one movie
כל העולם כולו גשר צר מאוד
No
No I am not a sacrifice
No I won’t kill my son for you
No he didn’t pass the test
and no you can’t enter my body
without my permission
