As the dignity of the human spirit never waned
In the forlorn look on the Jewish face and their race
As endured thru decades of the slime of degradation
By Gestapo secret police who had no secrets of their damned intent
To build camps on foundations deep in the abyss of hell
Clogged with a dismal cast of human expiration
The devils cloud desecrates the sky of star witness
Above the dead end train stop of Auschwitz
The Fuehrer’s anti -semenistic breath bred life into his monster web
And the tribe followed.
To dwell on the horror which is well documented I decline
But
I Apologise on Behalf of the Human Race
I apologise from the bottom of my heart
I apologise for all those lies
I apologise for closed doors
I apologise for closed eyes
How on earth could the Holocaust happen?
Lest We Forget
Brilliant writing Ken. I hated reading it as it is so horrific, yet it must never be forgotten. I saw 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' and it is well worth seeing. 10 Karin Anderson

I dedicate it for you: You are a world citizen, You feel penitent. The world makes wrongdoing, Only you have feeling. You show your poetic genius, It seems to me you are with us. For our work, you feel shame, To me you are a great name. You confess we are faulty, We feel we are guilty. You show our mistake, We need consider our partake.
