Panagiota Romios Poet Free verse

On Freedom's Wings

Years aogo...
They were shoved in trains.
Tortured, many baked.
Showered with gas, their lives cut
cruelly short.
Some had surrendered guns to the 
almighty government.
So, learn the Warsaw ghetto lesson well
If not, you put you and your familys' life,
into a torturous hell.

No protection when the soldiers came!
Many lives taken and wastefully blood
spilt in vain.
They all had a right to live!
But were labeled criminals and no
due process did they have.

We must never like the Nazi's be!
America, nay..any country!
Destroying a human's life and
accomplishments dispassionately!
When even one person loses due
process rights,
We all better start having restless,
sleepless nights.
For when anyone can accuse another
on hear-say or baselessly...
Once this happens,and we believe it, 
We are well on the way to hell,willingly!

Gershon Wolf January 28, 2020 at 4:30 PM Powerfully penned,...and thanks! Truth written here. Warm wishes, Gershon Panagiota Romios January 28, 2020 at 5:17 PM Greetings Gershon! Amazing how wonderful Most Americans are and how green with jealoosy some with money are! Marxists at heart. Not realizing the income of a Cuban is 328 dollars a year.Oy Panagiota xx

Tom Cunningham January 28, 2020 at 3:00 PM Sadly since those horrific days there has been other cases of so called ' ethnic clensing.' It seems mankind never learns. Well written. Tom Panagiota Romios January 28, 2020 at 3:09 PM I think this insanity has been going on since man first came to be. But in our day, it goes on. Are people deaf and blind? Whether by ethnicity or killing those who do not think as we do. We all have the same color blood and families. To use differences to destroy rather than unite us still goes on. We had best learn fast! We even rob the unborn of a chance at life...who are we? Thank you, Tom. Panagiota xx (I changed the title)
