Jacob’s eternal wrestle: A poem 

I, Jacob, toiled for you for twenty-eight years 

I never thought I’d grow old Rachel my dear 

And Laban (Prakash) was treacherous, yet I never did fear 

No fear, when there’s rock and roll in the ear 

I never even feared when I had to wrestle 

I knew that with every rebirth such was my tussle 

And the illuminating ladder was shown to me to be seen 

Rachel (Jashmina), there never has a greater love been 

This is not chance; was there a warning in advance? 

I always kept my word through this immortal dance 

Remember me? I am Jack, Jacob and James (Yakov) 

I did it for you Jashmina, without cough or hiccup 

We know who is to blame, we know who is to shame 

But can there be an end to this eternal game? 

We will come all over again with another name 

But, no matter what, I’ll love you just the same!
