Best Pogroms Poems

…the seeds of neo-Nazism are germinating  
Markus Nierth, former mayor of Tröglitz, Germany 2015

Germany’s rock candy windows and cookie like shingles make seeing the oven inside impossible. At first, the obsessive compulsive cleanliness of Nuremberg’s post-WWII streets is a joy. For a child of...

Unquotable quotes: The How of Democratic Kill – XXXIX, Part One

Born in 1868, Alexei Maximovich PESHKOV, better known as MAXIM GORKY and hailed as the chief proponent of Soviet literature, the veritable champion of the proletariat and the downtrodden masses, and who counted among his...

Women in my family
Who remember the morning Grandma passed
Recall a loving woman with no malice
Who left a void that would last and last

From the pogroms she fled as a girl of eight
Helping nurse sea-sick refugees aboard ship
Receiving such steadfast love became our fate
She gave strength...

Adorning the walls at Brigham and Women's
Head on his hand quite comfortably resting
The subject distinctive in his smiling position
Inspires the asking who is this physician

Over his shoulder an old time sea captain
And over the other what looks like the Kremlin
A scene that recalls something seemingly...

Number of Man
(Webster’s Ninth)

Money trail reveals factor
To assemble humans follow layout
Swat down charges with linguistic racket
Sticks more effective than carrot dangle
Arguments sustained by pundits' jangle
Beached on shallow force Fed truths we paddle

Pedantic pets get paddle
First world states where offspring are a factor
Searching for meaning results...

Fiddling About. 
by The Didds

Annual Concert, DMT, Time to act, you and me,
At Dauntsey School, a painted floor, performed in the round, 
with rehearsals at Sheep Street church, St Joe's school hall, the con club too,
learning dances, blocking acting, making lovely sounds

Odessa, Ukraine, in 1881,...

Rationalisation of Explanation


Do not question
The almighty plan
For such are the reprisals of fear
That turn blind despair into adulation 

The evident proof
Existent in raped women and children
Irrefutable in famished stomachs
Undisguised in all the suffering

Hangs stark and uncompromising
Humanity through centuries of historical brutality
Has treated us with its...

If you were a Christian
during various Inquisitions
and pogroms against Jewish communities
and aboriginal tribes,

If you had been a Christian slave owner
trading lack of co-empathic love
for your zealous theoretical salvation agenda,

Would a faithful Moslem or Jewish witness
reasonably assume
your being Christian
also means you are a proud and loyal...

HAPPY    NEW    YEAR

We’ve got a lot to be thankful for.
Personally 2010 was not special, but for all of us I can say this:
It was not a  perfect year  but with nearly 
Seven billion people all wanting to...

The anti this…
 We can be anti this and anti that
say, our hatred of Muslims is there but not deep
and is often based on ignorance.
But we have to face the fact that anti-Semitism
is in the psyche in the western mind.
Here we have to differentiate between...

Those who today loudly voice their complaints
   Might do well to study a people most quaint
The Jewish People for 3,332 years has survived
   Despite pogroms and holocausts, still quite alive

A former slave nation exiled to Persia almost 2,500 years ago

1. Emirates (UAE) that has not officially recognized Israel, made a historic flight to Ben Gurion Airport to deliver several tons of aid to "Palestinians." WEST-BANK refused the aid. Why? It was not consulted. Gaza - the rival Palestinian authority - accepted the UAE aid....

History cried out at a heinous cost 
'Twas when millions of Jews their lives had lost 
Dead bodies in concentration camps filled 
In the name of Anti-Semitism, killed 

Pogroms, mass shootings to annihilate 
Gas chambers and vans to asphyxiate
Germans, they thought they were superior 
Slew...

Instead of bombing, shelling and trashing our neighbors
Let’s all do the highly popular fun ‘Jeru’ dance
By ‘Jeru’, I mean the Jerusalema beats and vibes
Of South Africa. My friends, imagine that we’re not strangers
To each other, because we are all brothers, sisters and cousins
Let’s stop the...
