Survivor

Dead heroes live forever in our lore
(at least as long as epic deeds get sung).
While Bibi's tenure won't last past this war,
his brother Yonatan's forever young.
Achilles had no time to take a wife;
his legacy's not genes, but epic song.
While Bibi clings to office for dear life,
Israeli voters deem it's been too long.
Survival's Netanyahu's foremost goal;
more for himself than any larger cause.
The gnawing need to feel he's in control
is incompatible with mortals' laws.
The Hero of Entebbe's still the one
Bentzion kvells on when he says "my son".
