In The
Quiet
Holocaust
Remembrance Day April 11/12 2018
When the
sirens sound the air becomes heavy
I feel
the weight of the millions of souls we carry
This
begins their Day, lives destroyed
The
realization of evil from hatred passed
I’m not
my brother’s keeper but I must remember
Lessons
from history is in the abstract memory
For
concretes are simple and confuse intellectually
The
abstract is self-reliance and protection of the future
Could
they dream in their loneliest hours?
When
civilization abandoned them, to enter the gas chambers
That one
day they’d be held honorably in Jerusalem
In The
Land of their forefathers, and we’d say Amen!
I see her
picture and she imagined she’d be loved
Instead
she’d never even get to be kissed
She
thought at twelve about that party dress
In
deathly rags she exists, but the determination is “Never Again!”
