The acrimonious side of life... |
The Atrocities The atrocities of Auschwitz Are still haunting us today; Four million souls have perished Through the gates we now survey. Survivors tell their story In most painful, brute detail; How women, men, and children Died - in Hitler’s hellish jail. They plotted, systematically To rid the world of Jews. Efficiently they carried out Their plan - the blood did ooze. Ten thousand victims died each day - The system worked too well; Not many can imagine What it was to live in hell! The truth stayed hidden from the World by politicians, high; Some fourteen months of killing Were allowed while they stood by. So many lives within this time I’m sure could have been spared; But Man, in his insanity, Just watched while Jews despaired. The Allies could have freed the Jews from almost certain death; But Anti-Semitism flourished Underneath their breath. It seems some men were more afraid Of Jews than German tanks! Some even thought it was a hoax… Just one of Hitler’s pranks. Most people in our country Turned their heads from Hitler’s swine; The papers sometimes carried Stories - hidden on page nine. Man closed his eyes in ignorance, Combined with senseless hate - You’d think if there were suffering One would not hesitate! My question will forever be… What could the Jews have done? To close all eyes to tyranny - To hate in unison. The answer to my question Lies within the blinded mind. Perhaps, with education, We’ll include Jews in ‘Mankind’… |
