Trump verses and other mild curses
All for the price of a dozen eggs,
America stands on shaky legs.
Globally, the claim is heard ~
"The US ~ laughingstock of the world,"
as daily, we star in our very own theater of the absurd.

Gone - Vanished
When I was young, my father wrote poems, lovely poems, in Yiddish.

benevolence and favour

grace, a name
whispered before
a meal shared
5 fingers
on each hand
steeples, hiding people

as a child

Who Was Lizzie Van Zyl
Who was Lizzie Van Zyl?
A small girl stands on Woodcock Bridge
Pointing at her reflection in the water.
The glint from the sun, and a cold wind,
Distorts a distant memory of gold, and places long forgotten.

At the Gates of Auschwitz
At The Gates of Auschwitz
Today, I stand
At the gates of hell;
“Arbeit macht frei,”
(work sets you free!)
That is Auschwitz.
Where they burned God’s children,
And the world stood by;
Oblivious,
To what was happening inside.
The League of Nations
(Whose mandate was...

They say it did not happen
That we did not really see
The horror's and the sadness
That the Holocaust would be
They say it's just not true
That there was never any plan
To kill every...

Tell a book by it’s cover

All have a story to tell
Hidden away

Never Forget
From Poland hailed your Uncle Max, who in matters of manners was a bit lax,
While from France came Aunt Belle, whom I thought was really quite swell.
Next up from Russia was Cousin Boris, whom I...

The Ballad of Danny Fine
Not too long ago, back about 1929
Was conceived a boy, name of Danny Fine
Born on a Thursday, 24th of October
A day the stock market turned stone-cold sober
When the crash was over, five days later

Barbed Wire
Barbed wire seems a 'thorny' subject on which to opine,
But there arose a need for such for people and beasts to confine!
Cowpokes cussed as they worked with it mutilating their hands.
Sheepherders fussed with cattlemen as...

In Memoriam of a Broken Family
Remembered the 1940s, the season of the holocaust.
Six million irons, disjointed from their ores
Were forged in bottomless pits of anvils.
The swarming bees in a ceremonious buzzing
Were uncoupled from their hives through Reichsbahn.
However, a tensed, stale...

Darkness In Dachau
Head down, staring at the ground.
Nothing hopeful to ponder, only the thought of death to wonder.
When it will come is unsure.
The number of days past is a painful, surreal blur.
Grey clouds only add to the...

The Ashes That Fell From the Sky
A simple life,
Is all that we dreamed of,
To raise our families,
To be proud of the country we call home.
Our lives were interrupted,
By the rantings of a madman,
Who thought that genocide,
Gave him the right to...

It seems so sad to think that final result
To all of humanity has been an insult
Lives of people being taken advantage of
Bodies into incinerators they would shove.
Bodies were destroyed and badly twisted

Hitler Burns
Hitler is burning
He burned yesterday
He will be burning tomorrow
He began to burn immediately
after his last breath.
Hitler will burn forever.

The Hell of Dachau
Walking thru the gates of,
This hell known as Dachau,
Looking at the words,
"Arbeit Nacht Frei"
" Work sets you free"
I see them in their pinstripped clothes,
Torn, Dirty hanging off their bodies,
Seeing their bones, these skeletons,
Barely walking
Barely moving

Angora; Or, the Plague
Amir of my covenant; Mohammad
Awaken and find yourself still in two.
Pigeon’s high spirit flapping
As daylight rains through
Dream clouds burst and,
Ringing, draw true
The sheep are raised and set to follow
Like a fat candle mold
