For Elie Wiesel

A flames burnt up
humans
     You wrote what 
you had to 
   Have we learned 
anything 
            over the years?
Well - mass murders 
   still go on
    and thousands 
suffer
     Possesing little 
hope
we march 
       into the 
future
     holding a 
small 
    candleabra
which may illuminate 
      the patdh
for a moment 
           for a brief moment
