Does he see her

the girl in RED

with a pretty head

not yet an adult

but already guilty

it's because she's a Jew

made ragged and filthy.

Can he save her

 no he cannot

your war she fights alone

uncertainty bestowed

innocent and forgotten

roaming around

her dinner now rotten. 

Will he help her

perhaps so

with a one way ticket

her destiny awaits

a chamber of false hope

a showered genocide

made with hydrogen cyanide.

Can he feel her

cold soft baby skin

she's not hurting now

made forever young

poisoned little lungs

in this world

her life went unsung........

[Shelley Holt-Lowrey]

Oh this is perhaps the most painful part of that entire film. And he never even knew she was. Saddest part of all. This speaks to the innocence of so many lost to cruel tormentors. Evil which destroys beauty in the name of... I cannot even fathom the what. Powerful piece. And so harshly yet beautifully described. They all deserve this kind of tender remembrance.

I can't watch that movie without choking back a few tears. I watched the boy in the striped pajamas the other day...just as tragic.

This one carried a price tag... I read the book, saw and own a copy of the movie... and have seen and lived beyond hold your stomach AND your breath moments. Bringing one life and death into focus was a dramatic license... and a necessity to empower us to willfully touch our souls. Millions we can't focus the concept or reality - millions of ONE-at-a-time brings the reality and horror and pure shame of inhumanity into view.

THis was a hurt-full work hon...
Thank you,
Chris

if i learned anything from history is that it has an ugly side, the atrocities contributed to history is stark and unnerving...the price innocence pays is great.

[Coyote Poetry]

A sad poem. The worst part it is true. I saw the death camps in Poland and Germany. Still felt the pain and feel the death 30 years after. Worst part of all. This is happening in many parts of the world. The race in-charge is killing million in Africa and hidden part of this world for sake of religion and hate. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Very dark write...
I liked it!

[Kenneth The Poet]

Mass murder, the ultimate punchline to our delusions of grandeur.

Very challenging, heart-wrenching piece.

[Jvl narasimharao]

this is really wonderful poem against war and race discrimination.Really touching

[Forest Green]

Powerful words and descriptions of a horror that shall forever be a warning, a question mark, an exclamation point regarding the inhumanity of humankind. Cities and towns, villages, neighborhoods...all individual lives with promise, yet the innocence of youth presents the definition of holocaust.
Time well spent on a subject seldom noticed anymore. May we never forget that it actually happened, thus recognizing the incredible possibility of it happening again.

Unreal....in its reality.

Im so glad someone saw her standing alone fighting a war in which she should never have belonged ..you saw her there and gave her a voice..the pic's you used help show the callousness of war upon the innocents ......this is really well done i applaud u x
