The Habit Mind
The habit mind
Is the holocaust
Of technology automating
Rational enlightenment
For the slavery of time
And poverty of creation

World War Three or the Holocaust
All good things must come to pass

Holocaust
Whenever I'm feeling depressed
in my world so very dark,
I think about the holocaust victims and survivors
and realize that my life is a walk in the park.

All My Loss
I have absolutely no right feeling so depressed because of all my loss,
at least not when you compare my losses with the victims and survivors of the holocaust.

Makita VI: The Focus
Focusing upon a lantern of thirst
she ate of catastrophes
and quaffed of black karma
cast by fiction in sleaze
camaraderie non existent
though through the holocaust
erect she stood

Makita VIII: Red Holocaust
‘Tis often the flesh upon each cheek
is chased dour, yet sultry memories
As the years aged much of nothing
Had haunted these bones
unknown, unsuspected
Hollow screams were published
By the bedsteads of the red holocaust
Clouds laced with fear
Foreseen ‘twas a fiasco

The Holocaust
So I visited the Holocaust museum and then wrote this poem about it....
As I stepped through the door,
Tears filled my eyes.
Looking at the horror.
Seeing Hitler's lies.
He convinced so many people,
that this genocide was right.
He even killed the cripple.
So they'd go down without a fight.

Father's Day
Dear Father, long gone,
quietly aching a wrong,
an air of melancholy
a memory now free,
a refrain you taught me
upon a saddened knee,
for that was HaShoah,
the age of Holocaust,
a dirge of family loss
It's time anew, another start,
and I wish that you may
find peace within your heart,
Happy Father's Day

Never Again
Two million soles collected
One million souls lost
Can humanity recover,
From the holocaust?
This stockpile of shoes
Is a reminder and clue
That what happened to them
Could happen to you.
Auschwitz reminds us
Of man’s inhumanity to man
If we can forget
It can happen again.

The World We Live In
The world we live in,
has always been cruel.
From the crucifixion,
to a deadly duel.
To the madness of war,
and the holocaust.
The masses deplore,
the lives that were lost.
From those that strike terror,
to further their cause.
Their misguided error,
should give us all pause.
It's sad to say, unfortunately,
this is all part of our humanity.

Angel in Hell
An Angel in Hell
is a light in the dark
who mourns for those who fell
those still with a mark
An Angel in Hell
is the sun in the rain
who releases us from this spell
who frees us from this pain
An Angel in Hell
is love amidst hate
who comes to where we dwell
and saves us from this fate
*Dedicated to those who fell in the Holocaust and those who survived*

History 101
All that you need to know
about history
is that when the last survivor
of the holocaust
dies,
and there are no more
tattooed arms,
the reality of the event
will cease.
Questions and speculations
have already begun
whether it even occurred
at all.
Who controls the present,
controls the very existence
of the past.
That alone is enough
to make honest men
cry.

Consequence
Shadows shift to accomodate
Fire burning in my eyes
Fallen angels anoint my feet
As I cross the gates of Dante's Dream
The holocaust licks my body
Crimson tears bead down my neck
Swollen lips part to sing
The accompanyment to misery
An upturned snear at the scorching heavens
Savage Power stretch my veins
Side by side, my familiar Sin
The world is ripe to be ravaged

Why ( a holocaust poem)
I wake up in the morning
and the pain begins,
Starvation, beatings, disease
when will it ever end...
There is blood on my elbows
and blood on my knees,
my clothes are torn
I just want to be free...
I am what I am
I guess thats why I'm here,
I've been here three months
And I'm numb with fear...
I pray to God
and ask him why,
what did I do
to deserve to die...

LUNGS WRAPPED IN BLACK
~ emptiness chokes lungs of night
coughing from rib caged fever,
a tight-rope walker lies still...
amidst full moon’s howl
pain, wrapped in black holocaust
as her bridal dress withers,
staining a torn, cancelled love…
pre-nuptial songs crack ~

Holocaust Memorial Day
A brave believing victim of the Shoah said, 'God slept'.
Is it not true that God and Humanity were allies as the
United Nations Forces defeating Fascism - for ever?
Only the other day out of respectability I heard an anti-
Semitic remark. Alas, this old evil is not yet dead and buried.

Imposter
Fake!! Fakers, are
the real of the nameless
with many id's,paper dolls
and rumored boy toys,
white-collard polo's
straddling Marlboro horses,
or maybe ushered in
like dream team Barbie
and holocaust Ken
Golden wheat field,
trade; for black water
God handed "here you go
Mother nature,"
into velvet rooms,
with tantric lust,
behold tight tits
and parched tips,
for fame of child
green changeling,
not of a summers dream

BIRKENAU
Here because of an accident of blood
The multitudes entered in a flood
He saw her silhouette in the blue light
She blew him a final kiss that night
She held his child for him to see
Neither,would ever be set free
On his arm they numbered his tattoo
In this camp for the Holocaust Jew
He came back in forty-five
To keep the Auschwitz story alive.
Tribute to Leon Greenman (1910-2008) the only Englishmen to be sent to
Auschwitz.

Preborn in The USA
.
. You
and your
brothers and
sisters are now
missed most dearly, one million strong yearly.
'tis more than a loss, t'is a holocaust.
Wisdom dictates
love is life.
We miss
you.

poem by
Robert Ludden | Go to this short poem
Cremation
Of a holocaust, the last redemption;
like a spirit
rising from its body at the end,
the earth ascends to heaven
and for a moment steals infinity
and artfully inserts it
into everyday.
Beyond that vain acridity,
it is the dying
that unites the earth and sky.
This transitory brotherhood
with fog and mist and cloud
now tints the air
as one amorphous curtain drifts
to make the known surreal.
And out of chaos
comes another harbinger
of paradise.

The Finale
Sometimes horizon roams with moon
I pluck the stars
night drizzles from the dark clouds.
A shadow falls on the door
without struggle or rumor
I know he has come, my guest
the survivor of genocide.
He has come a long way
a message on his parched lips
he rubs hands.
Inferno he says. Holocaust he
murmurs. It is here again,
whole world is under siege.
He tells me, do something for the grass.
Ask your god to come back from domes.

Conversion of Sacred Life into Money
A depersonalized holocaust slowly proceeds
Under convertible assuaged currency
Separate disparate lives, anonymous dredging
Tear against the land, air, and crawling
Human hands finalized the creed
Scourging banks to let the biosphere bleed
Recognizing no natural dignity
Expect that converted into commodified property
Distraction allows us to peel away
Taking the mind narrower still
And filling the void with caramelized exchanges
Simply look away
The slave servitude continues

Keep Hope
These days are full of sacrifice
To be forever gone,
But they'll go on, the days,
Just like always.
The memories are scarce,
But the thoughts are harsh,
What did we do?
If only we knew.
The sadness is horrible,
The children are dead,
My parents will die,
Please just tell me why.
I need to keep hope,
I just need to keep it.
Just keep my strength,
No matter the captivities length.
Dedicated to all those who survived and to all those who were lost during the Holocaust.
