After Visitng Yad Vashem
One of the most evil
periods
in human history
is vividly portrayed here
The proud hopes of the Renaissance
and the Enlightenment
gone up in smoke
like the murdered millions
Photos of cruelty and pain
cause me to reflect
on
the
nature of man
ponder what will
become of the
travelers on our hollow globe
Words fail to tell us
of the magnitude
of these murders
The horror and pain
have faded with the years
Light falling on the
snow in Jerusalem
creates patterns
in which those with deep souls
can forsee a better future
As the days and nights
continue to pass by
Perhaps one day we will all understand
We must try or perish
Evil must be remembered
