Notes About The Poem

Whoopie-Doo

Whoopie-doo, the holocaust—
is she for real?
Real Scooby-doo mystery…
She says Jews aren’t a race,
yet there’s a trace of heritage left
after the atrocity
that attempted to wipe out
the lineage.
How does she live
with herself?!

The problem is the uncontrollable yap,
the lack
of thinking people…
no one allowed
to discuss, ask questions,
probe the truth and consequences 
of out of control chaos.
Therefore the proverbial blind, deaf, dumb and lame
use their faculties
and they fall, get run over
without accountability,
sensibility, morality
and common sense.

And they are less accountable
or not at all
as
they throw rocks or
throw others
under the bus.

Gershon Wolf February 1, 2022 at 7:21 PM Thanks for this one, Kim. These days, people just say whatever floats into their without thinking. If they don't say it, they tweet it... 'Course, Whoopie's a real expert on the Holocaust too, isn't she? Knows her subject so well. She's my go-to authority on Auschwitz and Dachau, by the way. ~ In good hands with the Whoopster Kim Rodrigues February 1, 2022 at 7:33 PM Fame certainly does not make one an expert. The holocaust was an atrocity not to be looked over. Never again!

Joseph P. DiMino February 1, 2022 at 10:12 AM Very well said -- the problem is, people talk, speak nonsense, but there are enough echoes out there to give them legs. Truth often falls victim to personal predilections. Excellent, valuable writing. Joe. Kim Rodrigues February 1, 2022 at 10:23 AM I was astounded when I heard the clip this morning. Shaking my head…
