One Again



One Again

Emptiness is the color of the millions dead
Burnt to ashes after the ground ran red
Hatred the fuel that burned and rent
Delivering into nothingness - humanity’s dread

But, they’re remembered, they’ve not died
They’re with us and we stand with pride
In the quiet Hall the flame burns constantly
The outer rooms see the flags and books silently

Hills of Jerusalem, our ancient home
Their House now stands in Judea, forever the tome
We carry them with us and strength is their gift
We declare “Never Again” upon the Masada rift

Listen to the silence as tears feel
The sirens throughout their Nation peel
We think and for a time we are with them One again
We return to the present and say Amen
