Where Is God

Where is He? God, Master of the universe, God died, With the Jewish people, Slaughtered on Thine altar, Where is God? Hanging from the Gallows, With this sad eyed angel, This beautiful child, Where is He? With the babies, The children thrown into the flames, Where is He? Face-to-face with the Angel of Death, Waiting in the Antechhamber of Hell, Where is He? Tortured, Slaughtered, Gassed, And burned with the Jewish people, Where is He? God is dead, With the infants, Tossed into the air and used as targets, Where is He? Merciful God, Consumed by the flames, From then on the Terrible, Man asked and God replied, No longer does he reply, How can anyone believe in this God of Mercy? No longer do I accept his silence, No longer do I believe in this Merciful God, I have more faith in Hitler, He alone kept all his promises to the Jewish people.
