Notes About The Poem

To stand up is the true test of bravery. Hungry? Afraid? Knowledge of right and wrong? What will you choose? Choose it now. Hold it tight. Impress it on your heart. 

Lost In a Sea of War

“What is there to say? They are my friends. I would do it again, over and over — for I hate cruelty and intolerance.”    Oskar Schlinder

LOST IN A SEA OF WAR

daringly intrepid,
dazzlingly, dizzily
protecting the poor,
the unarmed, the kids,
those lost in a sea
of war — Schindler
and his musical score,
outscoring the hate
that seemingly won’t abate
but for God steps into
the shoes of man

Panagiota Romios November 13, 2019 at 11:05 AM Oh, if only people were like Schindler. At the end of the movie, he cries when He says" I could have saved more!" This movie was a masterpiece. Great poem, my friend. "God steps into the shoes of men!" Utterly awesome.. Love, Panagiota. xxxxx Kim Rodrigues November 13, 2019 at 11:33 AM Thanks, Panagiota! I have read of others who would turn the Jews in for a morsel of bread. What will man sell his soul for?
