Product of a Diseased Mind
We cannot indefitnitly avoid depressing subject matter particularly if it's true
Deranged minds turned to genocide
While the rest of the world remained silent
Force the confrontation
Lean
Taunt
sparse in style
Employ no tricks
Provide no escape
Accept responsibility the past
Still so many who feed on the wish
On the anti semitisim that lurks near the surface of the lives of even cultured people
Committing the greatest indignity humans can inflict
Making people believe their pain and torture was an illusion
In that valley death took on substance
Those that survived turned into substance
Honor the dead Warn the living
Better one heart be broken a thousand times in retelling the story
If it means a thousand hearts not be broken at all
Their presence casts a shadow from within which we can see
In the dimmest outline
The reality they saw
touched and tasted directly
The ongoing devastation has only begun
The devastation that will never end
Devastation imposed by memories that makes the line between life and death very thin
How can one discern the vestiges of life being breathed into a corpse
We must seek relief from this horror
Let’s hope with this generation we will recapture
enough reality that it will never be repeated again
