Notes About The Poem
From my book 

East of Nowhere

White Rose Sophie Scholl

It haunts me to think

that you would die for your ideals

at such a tender age

thinking you are

intellectually superior

and in many ways you were,

but Sophie,

it is such a waste to die so young

for what?


Your offspring could have

carried the flame

continued 'the white rose'

in all its purity and

ideological splendor

but you are right, off course,

even in death and thereafter

Mitt Gott kannst Du alles.
