Eyes In Stripes



Eyes In Stripes
[Yom Hashoah April 23/24 2017 Holocaust Remembrance Day]

Abandoned souls lie in wait
They’ve been trashed by venomous hate
No rest for the rejected
If you don’t fit you’ll get selected

Left in is the hazardous thing
You’ll discover all sorts of pain inflicting
Discovering that an inch here or there
Makes the difference between a scream or a glare

You realize that justice is a Utopian illusion
For no matter what, the idea is a perversion
Reversal is impossible from the sleight of to the diabolical
So punishment must be psychological and physical

Two sides, the victim and the criminal
Punishment versus mercy with forgiveness a whore
Shred all emotion to dignify decision
Forgiveness shrivels and mercy slides back into hell
