Holocaust Memorial Day
It may look skin deep but it goes all the way to a soul
A scar on society and the skin of an innocent
numerals meant to identify the person
yet remove them from humanity
Done in the name of ideology
And the politics of bigotry
If such a thing as religion exists
These crimes must have made the angels weep
And deities drop to their knees in shame
Do not be led by politics or religion
Or the words in a book
Trust your heart.
