Where Is God?

Dead bodies, corps set ablaze In the wretched crematories Smoke streams through the chimneys The smell of burning flesh fills the air What has happened? Where is God? Six million Jews lost And so many left feeling As if they’ve been to hell and back. Yet they are glad to have survived it, So happy for liberation But they will carry this horrible experience With them in their minds forever. All will come back to them When they catch their first glimpse of themselves In a mirror after so long When they see Their pale skin stretched over their bones Looking like a skeleton in clothes. What has happened? Where is God? How could he let something like this take place? The phrase was said As so many Jews questioned their faith Where is God today? It seems as though He is distant. It feels like He’s far away Maybe He is just warning us With all of this war and chaos Maybe he is trying to tell us Of what this world is coming to.
